Cajun Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

by Rebecca March 22, 2021

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Servings: 4

Such an impressive dish that takes only thirty minutes to make. Stuffed shells with ricotta, chicken, broccoli, Parmesan, and Cajun seasoning in a bed of delicious Alfredo sauce and clothed in melted cheese. My favourite weeknight meal. And my go-to for when I have guests coming over.

Ingredients

1 lb large pasta shells (gluten-free for gluten-free)

2 tbsp butter

2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 c. cream (and/or milk)

1/2 c. Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), grated

1/2 tbsp cajun seasoning

1 c. ricotta

1 c. chicken, cooked and shredded or diced

1 c. broccoli, cooked and diced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 c. Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), grated

1 tsp lemon zest

1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

1 c. mozzarella, shredded

How to make Cajun Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells

Step 1: As directed, cook the pasta shells. Once cooked, individually set the shells aside to cool.

Step 2: In the meantime, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic to the pan and cook for about a minute until aromatic. Then, stir in the cream, Parmesan, and Cajun seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil. Decrease the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add in the ricotta, chicken, broccoli, green onions, Parmesan, lemon zest, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well.

Step 4: Into a large baking pan, pour the Cajun Alfredo sauce. Stuff each shell with the chicken mixture, then place in the pan and sprinkle with mozzarella.

Step 5: Place in a preheated 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sides are bubbling.
