Ingredients

  • 20 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce or hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, blue cheese crumbles, extra buffalo sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook pasta shells in salted water until al dente, drain, and let cool slightly.
  2. In a skillet, sauté bell pepper and onion in olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, sautéed veggies, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then fold in half the shredded cheese.
  4. Fill each pasta shell with the buffalo chicken mixture and arrange in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Top with remaining shredded cheese and drizzle with extra buffalo sauce if desired.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions or blue cheese crumbles before serving.

Notes

  • Use blue cheese dressing for a stronger flavor profile.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies in the filling.
  • Freeze unbaked shells for later—just thaw and bake when ready.
  • Pair with a green salad, roasted veggies, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
