This is one of those meals that you know you love before you even make it. Since life has been on the go and my boys are always at lacrosse practice, my family was especially excited to sit down together and eat this delicious meal. There is nothing better than a home cooked meal in my opinion. These shells included all of the things that we love and made with my favorite homemade alfredo sauce. The broccoli was small enough that even my picky eater loved them.

These shells get stuffed with chopped broccoli, tender rotisserie chicken, cheese and homemade alfredo. They are so simple but yet so delicious!! You then use the reserved alfredo and pour it over the shells and top with some more cheese.

This dinner is a home run! My husband still raves about how much he loved this meal. All you have to do is serve it with a side salad and some crusty garlic bread and this meal is a guaranteed hit! You will want to make it again and again!

  1. This is the BEST Alfredo sauce ever! Add the cream cheese you won’t be sorry so delish!!

  2. These are amazing. My friends and family love them. Even my friends that don’t like Alfredo sauce loved the homemade Alfredo sauce

  3. I haven’t tried making this yet but I definitely will. When making Alfredo sauce in the past I find it loses its smooth consistency very quickly and becomes mealy. I have never used cream cheese in the recipe, does this make a difference to creaminess and staying power?

  4. This is such an awesome dinner idea! I’ve actually never tried stuffed shells so these are a must!
