Ingredients 🛒

• 12 jumbo pasta shells
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 packet ranch seasoning
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Cook the Pasta 🍝

Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package directions.

Drain them well and let them cool slightly so they are easier to handle without tearing.

2. Preheat the Oven 🔥

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly prepare a baking dish.

3. Make the Filling 🥣

In a mixing bowl, combine:

• cooked chicken
• cream cheese
• ranch seasoning
• half of the shredded cheddar cheese

Mix everything together until creamy and well combined.

4. Stuff the Shells 🧀

Carefully spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken filling into each cooked pasta shell.

5. Assemble the Dish 🍽️

Place the stuffed shells into the baking dish.

Pour the chicken broth over and around the shells to help keep them tender and moist while baking.

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake Until Bubbly ✨

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the shells are heated through.

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
