Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 21 jumbo pasta shells
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Place a large pot of water to boil over high heat. This is what you'll be cooking your jumbo shells in.
- While your water is coming to a boil, season your chicken breast with the salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add your avocado oil to the skillet.
- Once the oil begins to shimmer, place your chicken in the skillet. Cook on both sides (only flipping once) until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Turn the burner down to the lowest heat setting and add your garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, just until fragrant. Pour in your chicken stock.
- Bring the mixture up to a simmer and add in the cream cheese. Stir until melted. Once the cream cheese has melted, remove from burner and set aside.
- When your pasta water comes to a boil, add in your shells. Only cook until al dente, about 6-7 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and set aside to cool.
- Chop up your chicken into bite size pieces and add to a mixing bowl.
- Add ricotta, oregano, basil, and parsley to the bowl with the chicken. Mix until combined.
- In a 9x13 baking dish, pour about 1/2 cup of sauce. Spread to cover the bottom of the dish.
- Take each jumbo shell and fill it with the chicken ricotta mixture and place open side up in the baking dish. Repeat until all of the shells are filled.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the shells.
- Sprinkle the parmesan cheese across the top of the shells.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it is hot and bubbly.
- Serve warm with a sprinkle of basil and a side of garlic bread!
