2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

2 cups cooked broccoli, chopped

1 cup shredded cheddar (or mozzaerlla) cheese

Salt/Pepper to season (if needed)

 Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

  3. Spoon mixture into pasta shells.
  4. Grease 13 x 9 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  6. Arrange shells in baking pan.

Notes

Remember that the noodles need to be cooked prior to stuffing. I usually like cooking them 1-2 minutes under what the package says, that way they will fully cook when baking in the oven!

This recipe can easily be altered to your liking. One easy filling addition — chopped cooked bacon!

Tip #1You can prep all items in advance, right up to the point of baking.  Keep covered in refrigerator until you are ready to bake. 

Tip #2:  Own a cookie scoop?  Use your cookie scoop to easily stuff your shells! 

Tip #3:  You can freeze this!  Just pre-assemble all the noodles with the filling.  Freeze stuffed noodles without the red sauce.  Then, thaw when ready to bake!
