Ingredients
20–25 jumbo pasta shells
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie recommended)
1 cup cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (plus more for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Cook pasta shells al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the filling: chicken, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, 1 cup of mozzarella, and dried parsley.
Stuff each shell with the chicken mixture and place in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Pour Alfredo sauce evenly over the stuffed shells.
Top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
Substitute cottage cheese with ricotta for a more traditional filling.
Add-ins: Fresh spinach, red pepper flakes, or even cooked bacon or sausage for extra flavor.
Can be assembled ahead and stored in the fridge (1–2 days) or frozen for up to 2 months before baking.
