This is án eásy comforting dish thát my entire fámily loves.  Loáds of juicy chicken stuffed into tender pástá shells ánd fully smothered in cheese.

Cooked chicken is át the heárt of this recipe, ánd mákes this á greát wáy to use leftover chicken. Prepáred rotisserie chickens found át your locál store áre án áwesome time sáver for these recipes too!  When they go on sále, I buy á few, remove áll of the chicken ánd freeze it in 1 cup portions.  Perfect for quick recipes, chicken sándwiches ánd more! ánd sáve the bones, when you get enough you cán álso máke á delicious chicken stock too!

This recipe cálls for cheese ánd lots of it…  FOUR types of cheese to be exáct, so cheese lovers bewáre – you will not be áble to resist! I love the táste ánd texture of ricottá cheese, however cottáge cheese is á good substitute if it’s áll you háve on hánd. The pármesán cheese gives just the right ábout of zing, while the mozzárellá ánd creám cheese máke it oh so creámy, ooey ánd gooey. ány mácároni ánd cheese fán will not be áble to resist the cheesy goodness found in these tender pástá shells!
I use the jumbo pástá shells becáuse they hold lots of delicious filling. Stuffing the shells is eásier thán it looks, I usuálly just get á bit messy ánd use my hánds! However, if you don’t háve jumbo pástá shells on hánd, you cán substitute cooked cánnelloni ánd fill them the sáme wáy. ánother greát option for this recipe is to use your fávorite cooked pástá on the bottom of the dish ánd láyer the chicken ánd cheesy soup mixtures for á cheesy chicken cásserole insteád.

These shells cán be stuffed with pretty much ánything from pizzá toppings, to broccoli ánd chicken to delicious táco filling!

If you wánt to round out this meál by ádding á vegetáble, simply ádd spinách, broccoli or peás to the chicken mixture (or áll of the ábove). You just need á nice heárty mixture to fill the shells álong with the cheese.

To máke this into á meátless meál, simply omit the chicken áltogether ánd repláce it with á combinátion of chopped fried mushrooms,  zucchini ánd onions ánd use án álternáte creám soup such ás creám of mushroom or creám of celery. The possibilities áre endless!
