- When the pasta is cool enough to handle, spoon the mixture into the shells.
- Drizzle the remaining alfredo sauce over the shells and top with the remaining cheese

Notes
- Save time and grab a rotisserie chicken from the store, and use that instead of cooking chicken breasts from scratch.
- What to do with leftovers
- Store tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for about 2 days. They can dry out, so you may need to add a little extra sauce when reheating.
- Substitutions/Additions
- If you can't find jumbo pasta shells, no worries! Use manicotti tubes if you can find those. You could also make this lasagna style, and use no-boil lasagna sheets, laying the chicken mixture, sauce and cheeses in a baking dish.
- Add some fresh garlic, or garlic powder to the stuffing mixture.
