Tonight I made stuffed shells for dinner. It's a fairly simple recipe and doesn't take THAT much time to make.
For this recipe you'll need:
3 teaspoons of minced garlic or about 6 garlic cloves and mince them
1 box of Jumbo Shells
2 chicken breasts
1 30oz tub of ricotta cheese
1/3 cup of bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
6 basil leaves (chopped)
1/3 cup half and half
1/4 cup parmesean cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 can of chicken broth
1 can of sauce (spaghetti or anything)
1 casserole dish or deep dish pan
Slow cooker
Now I know looking at all the ingredients are kind of overwhelming. But don't be; like I said VERY simple.
First you're going to take the slow cooker and dump the can of chicken brother in and place you're chicken breasts in and set to high. Leave them in for two hours. After the two hours is over they're cooked.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Start cooking your shells. Just like the box says. While you're cooking those start to pull apart or cut up your chicken and place in a bowl.
Once your shells are done cooking strain them and set them aside while you make the mixture.
In your bowl with the chicken add all your ingredients except the mozzarella cheese and the sauce and stir together and until all combined. (You can use a food processor if you have one)
Once that is all combined grab your dish and place some of the sauce of your choice (I used roasted garlic marinara) in the bottom of the pan with a little olive oil. Make sure the bottom of the pan is covered.
Next take a shell and spoon in the chicken mixture and set the shell in the pan. Repeat until the pan is full. (I had tons of extra so feel free to make more then one pan)
Once your pan is full top with some more sauce. However much you prefer. Then top with mozzarella cheese.
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Finished. See... SIMPLE
