Description

A delightful take on classic Buffalo chicken flavors transformed into indulgent pasta shells filled with a creamy chicken mixture.


Ingredients

  • Large pasta shells
  • Cooked chicken (shredded)
  • Cream cheese
  • Buffalo hot sauce
  • Shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • Sour cream
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
  2. Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until creamy and smooth.
  4. Gently stuff each pasta shell with the buffalo chicken mixture.
  5. Place the stuffed shells in a baking dish. Pour any remaining buffalo sauce on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

For a milder dish, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce. Using rotisserie chicken can save time. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for three months.
