Chicken Aflredo stuffed shell with homemade sauce
The chicken Alfredo filling shell is creamy, cheesy, and suffocated with a rich homemade Alfredo sauce. They are so good, even kids won’t mind spinach!
Stuffed pasta is a fun way to change your average pasta dinner. This recipe has exactly the same taste as Fettuccini Alfredo, but with some spinach and extra cheese.
Tacky stuffed shells
Our family eats a lot of pasta for dinner, so I like to think of ways to change it from time to time. Although we love Alfredo Chicken (especially the kids), it may be a bit redundant.
This is where these Alfredo chicken fillets come in. They have all the right ingredients: pasta, chicken, cheese, homemade Alfredo sauce, and *even* some sneaky green spinach (the kids barely noticed).
When you fill spaghetti with lots of cheese, spinach and chicken, you really can’t go wrong. When you add ricotta, parmesan and Italian cheese to your recipe, you really can’t go wrong (tell you they are cheesy!)
