Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 box jumbo pasta shells (16 oz)
  • 2 cups shredded chicken breast
  • 1.5 oz Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • to taste chopped green onions (optional for serving)

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Dish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the jumbo pasta shells and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the shells and set them aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, cottage cheese, and melted butter. Stir until everything is well combined and the chicken is coated in the spicy sauce.
  3. Take each cooked pasta shell and spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the shell, filling it generously. Place the filled shells seam-side up in a greased baking dish.
  4. Once all the shells are filled, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the shells.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving for a fresh touch. Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Shells hot!

Notes

  • Fill the shells generously for maximum flavor.
  • Allow the shells to cool slightly before serving to avoid spillage.
  • Experiment with different cheeses for a unique twist.
