If you enjoy chicken and broccoli with alfredo sauce, you will love these stuffed shells! These shells are loaded with shredded chicken, broccoli, shredded cheese, and alfredo sauce. The recipe calls for cooked chicken and this is a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken but you could also shred the meat from a cooked rotisserie chicken if you would prefer. You can either use additional alfredo sauce to put on the bottom of the dish or spaghetti sauce. You can use your favorite alfredo sauce for this recipe. Stuffed the shells does take a little bit of work but the rest of the recipe is easy to prepare. I like to serve these stuffed shells with garlic bread. Enjoy.
