Chicken Stuffed Shells
I've had this recipe on my list of "To Try" for some time and finally added it to the menu this week. I made it Sunday night and it was delicious though I did make some changes to the original recipe. This was a different twist on a typical pasta dish and I enjoyed that. Serena really liked this and I didn't even need to ask her to finish her dinner; she ate it with no persuasion. She even asked me to pack it for her lunch the next day which is extremely rare. I sent some leftovers home for my parents and mom raved about it, even saying it was one of my better dishes.
Chicken Stuffed Shells
Adapted from a recipe posted on Baby Center by Amy (luckymommyto2boys)
2 medium chicken breast, seasoned with garlic powder, baked and chopped into small pieces (about 2 cups)
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup water
2 cups Stove Top chicken stuffing
1 box large shells
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1-1/4 cup chicken broth
Parmesan cheese
Boil large shells for 8-9 minutes until tender but still somewhat firm. In a separate pot, melt butter and add celery and onion and saute for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender and onions translucent. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add two cups of stuffing and mix until moist. Add chopped chicken and mix well. Stuff the pasta shells with the chicken/stuffing mix. Put stuffed shells in a 9x13 dish. Mix soup and chicken broth together and pour over shells. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake on 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Turn on broil for a couple of minutes to slightly brown top.
