A Simple and Savory Recipe for Chicken-Stuffed Shells!
Hello friends! In this video I am demonstrating how I made my delicious Chicken-Stuffed Shells. The chicken stuffing is a combination of chicken, spinach, seasonings, onions, egg and cheese. I used large pasta shells, and I cooked them until they were halfway done. I stuffed the shells with the chicken mixture, then I placed them into a dish pan that I had poured a premade pasta sauce in. I sprinkled the shells with cheese, then I covered the baking dish with foil. I baked these shells in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
Ingredients
1 bag of jumbo pasta shells
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup frozen or fresh spinach
1/2 chopped white onion
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups mozzarella cheese
