Ingredients
  

12 large jumbo pasta shells

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (reserve some for topping)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Cook Pasta Shells: In a large pot filled with boiling salted water, carefully cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until they are al dente (firm to the bite). Once cooked, drain the shells and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to cool slightly and prevent sticking.

      Prepare Filling: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or spatula to mix everything thoroughly until well blended and creamy.

        Stuff Shells: Using a spoon or a piping bag for ease, generously fill each pasta shell with the chicken and cheese mixture. Once filled, arrange the stuffed shells in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, standing them upright or lying them down as you prefer.

          Add Sauce: Carefully pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the stuffed shells, ensuring that each one is generously coated with the creamy sauce for maximum flavor.

            Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese liberally over the top of the stuffed shells, adding that extra cheesy layer that will melt beautifully as it bakes.

              Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After this, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
