Stuffed Chicken Shells

Recipe Introduction


Prep: Hands on: 45 minutes/Total time: 1 1/2 hours.

These stuffed shells may taste like they came from a restaurant, but the secret ingredients are right off the grocery shelf: Stove Top stuffing and cream of chicken soup.

They are gret to take to a party because they feed so many, but also because they are easy to freeze for a quick meal for the family. Make and Take tip: Bake at home, and then reheat in oven or microwave upon arrival. Tip: After stuffing the individual shells, arrange them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper & freeze. Store the frozen stuffed shells in a resealable freezer bag (and keep a can or two of condensed cream of chicken soup on hand), and then bake them in whatever quantity you need for a party or family dinner.

List of Ingredients




1 (12-ounce) box large pasta shells
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into small pieces
2 (6-ounce) boxes Stove Top stuffing, any flavor
1 cup mayonnaise
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup













Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring large pot of water to boil to cook shells. Cook according to package directions; drain, cool. Set aside.

In the meantime, in a large skillet, heat oil. Add onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken breast pieces and stir-fry until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Prepare stuffing according to package directions. In a large bowl, mix prepared stuffing with cooked chicken and onion mixture. Stir in mayonnaise. Use a large spoon to generously fill the cooked pasta shells with the stuffing mixture.

Arrange stuffed shells in two lightly greased 9-by-13-inch baking pans. In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup with 2 soup cans of water. Pour the mixture over the shells. Cover the pans with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
