For the Stuffed Shells:

20-25 jumbo pasta shells

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Alfredo Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups heavy cream

1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens. Add black pepper and nutmeg, if using.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

Spread 1 cup of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Stuff each cooked pasta shell with about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and place them in the baking dish.
