Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Shells

By á-6416

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (about 8oz) whole wheat medium shells
• 2 1/2 cups fresh broccoli, cut into small florets (just the head, no stem)
• 2 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken
• 1 (16oz) jar Alfredo Sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (medium cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Preparation

Step 1

Cook shells according to directions on package. Mine took about 10-11 minutes. Drain. Return shells to the pan, add alfredo sauce, salt, pepper, & garlic powder. Stir & set aside.
Place broccoli florets & a little water in a container with a lid. Leave lid loose & microwave on high for 2-3 minutes depending on how crunchy you like your broccoli; just keep in mind that it will continue to cook in the oven.
Cook & dice or shred chicken. I actually used leftover roast chicken & heated it up in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes to have it hot like my other ingredients.
Add the broccoli & chicken to the shells. Stir well. Empty contents into a greased 13x9" baking dish & top with shredded cheese.
Bake at 350*F for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly & heated in the center.
