Ingredients 📜
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
– 2 cups marinara sauce 🍝
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
– 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded 🍗
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
– 1 cup ricotta cheese 🥛
– 12 jumbo pasta shells 🥙
– 1 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
– 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped 🥦
– Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Directions:
1. To kick things off, preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) so it’s just right for baking! 🔥
2. Cook those jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until they’re beautifully al dente. Once done, drain them and set aside for now. 🍽️
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine your shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, ricotta cheese, half the mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix it all up until well-blended! 🥄
4. Carefully stuff each shell with your delicious chicken and broccoli mixture, making sure to fill them generously. 🧤
5. Take a baking dish and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom to keep everything nice and moist. 🍅
6. Arrange your stuffed shells in the dish and then pour the rest of the marinara sauce over the top, ensuring every shell is covered. 🌊
7. Top it all off with the remaining mozzarella cheese, creating a cheesy blanket over the shells! 🥳
8. Cover the dish with some foil and pop it in the oven to bake for 25 minutes. This will let all those flavors meld beautifully. ⏳
9. After 25 minutes, remove the foil to reveal a cheesy wonderland, and bake for an extra 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling. 🍽️
10. Allow the dish to cool for a bit before serving – your taste buds are in for a treat! 💖
