Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo pasta shells
- 2 cups chicken breast cooked, shredded
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup condensed
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese garlic and herb
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese divided, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Boil the pasta shells according to the package directions, just until al dente. Drain the water then rinse the shells in cold water to cool them down and prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stuff this filling into the cooked pasta shells and place them in a single layer in a glass 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large sauce pot, heat the cream of chicken soup and the evaporated milk over medium heat until hot. Add the garlic and herb cream cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese; stir well.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the stuffed shells in the baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350F for 40 minutes until hot and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.
