Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Jumbo Shells image

I came up with this based upon another recipe, but used things I had in the kitchen. It is a great alternative if your family or guests don't eat red meat!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
1 cup dry bread crumbs
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Separate shells and let stand, so they are not touching, on waxed paper or foil.
  • In large skillet over medium heat, combine chicken, onion, egg and bread crumbs. Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Season with oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Stir in three-quarters of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar; cook until cheeses melt.
  • Fill shells with chicken mixture, using a tablespoon, and place in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover the shells with the tomato sauce and top with the reserved cheese. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes, or until lightly browned and bubbly.

These were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I've made these jumbo shells several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is so creamy and cheesy, and the shells are cooked to perfection.

These were a little too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

These were a huge hit with my family! I used a combination of ricotta and cottage cheese for the filling, and added some chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. The shells were cooked perfectly and the filling was creamy and flavorful.
