Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
1 cup dry bread crumbs
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Separate shells and let stand, so they are not touching, on waxed paper or foil.
  • In large skillet over medium heat, combine chicken, onion, egg and bread crumbs. Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Season with oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Stir in three-quarters of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar; cook until cheeses melt.

Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Shells image

I came up with this trying to duplicate a frozen dinner from my childhood. This is my childrens' most requested dinner. I am sometimes inconsistent though and will add a can of either cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup to the white sauce.
