Ingredients
- 20–25 jumbo pasta shells
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken preferred)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp dried parsley (plus more for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook the jumbo shells just until al dente, drain them, and set them aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, 1 cup of mozzarella, and dried parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Gently stuff each pasta shell with the chicken-cheese mixture and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour Alfredo sauce evenly over the shells, ensuring each is coated.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use ricotta instead of cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
- Add chopped spinach or red pepper flakes for variation.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer before baking.
- To reheat, bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes or microwave individual servings.
