CHICKEN ALFREDO STUFFED SHELLS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
30 jumbo pasta shells
3 cups (24 ounces) whole-milk ricotta
2 cups (8 ounces) Italian blend shredded cheese
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 pinches ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large leek, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced into half-moons
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
Chopped fresh chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to package directions for al dente. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to touch.
  • Mix the ricotta, 1 cup of the Italian blend cheese, the red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 1 pinch of the nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and add the leek to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour the wine into the pot and stir to scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and reduce until completely evaporated, stirring. Lower the heat to medium, pour in the cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining pinch nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Fold the chicken and its juices from the plate into the ricotta mixture. Spread 1 cup of the cream sauce onto the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Fill each pasta shell with a spoonful of ricotta mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells, seam-side up, shingling them so they all fit (you should have 5 shells along the short side and 6 shells along the long side). Ladle the remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Italian cheese blend and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese and tops of noodles start to turn golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before sprinkling with some chives and more red pepper flakes.

CHICKEN ALFREDO STUFFED MANICOTTI



Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Manicotti image

SPINACH AND BOURSIN STUFFED CHICKEN WITH ALFREDO SAUCE



Spinach and Boursin Stuffed Chicken With Alfredo Sauce image

This is not a recipe for you, if you are on a diet, I made this one up a while ago and it is very rich, full of flavours, but not exactly the lowest fat content in the world. I served mine with mashed parsnip and vegetables, but it also good over pasta which I have done as well.

Provided by The Flying Chef

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts
300 g spinach
1 cup mushroom, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
6 slices bacon, chopped
100 g boursin brand garlic & herb spreadable cheese
2 cups cream
2 teaspoons garlic powder with parsley (if you don't have this mixed powder, just garlic powder is fine.)
50 g butter
100 g cream cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese
white pepper

Steps:

  • With a meat mallet pound chicken until it is about the same thickness all over.
  • Heat a little oil in a pan, add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft. In a small pan cook bacon until browned.
  • In a large Saucepan bring some water to the boil, add spinach and cook until spinach wilts, drain, rinse under cold water, squeeze out any excess liquid.
  • In a bowl combine spinach, mushrooms, bacon and boursin, mix until it is well combined. ( there should be enough heat left from mushrooms, to soften cheese, to mix evenly, if not just zap it for 20-30 seconds in the microwave, to make it easy to combine.).
  • Dived mixture evenly between 4 breasts, Laying it on one half of the breast roll the other half over the top to cover and secure with tooth picks.
  • Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish, place chicken in, drizzle a little more oil over the top of each breast, bake in a pre-heated oven 180c, for about 40-50 Min's or until chicken is cooked. (cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the breast.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • In a sauce pan add cream, butter and garlic powder, heat through making sure butter has melted, add Parmesan cheese, cream cheese and pepper to taste.
  • Simmer on a low heat 15-20 Min's, This allows the cheese to be well and truly melted and really brings out the taste, the longer you simmer the sauce for, the more tasty it will be, just remember to stir from time to time.
  • To serve cut chicken in half place on plate and pour sauce over. Alternatively slice chicken into pieces place on top of pasta and pour sauce over. MMmmmmm.

CHICKEN ALFREDO STUFFED BREAD



Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Bread image

Do you love Alfredo? This recipe places that yummy flavor in a family size sub sandwich for a family pleasing meal or a party appetizer. Start with precooked chicken breasts (or even a rotisserie chicken) and dinner couldn't be easier! I add mushrooms and/ or black olives if I have them on hand, but they are optional. ...

Provided by Susie D.

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 soft loaf french bread, unsliced
2 c cooked chicken breasts, chopped or shredded
1/2 c onion, diced
3 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
2 c grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 c fresh italian parsley (or 1 t dried)
14 oz alfredo sauce (or garlic/parmesan sauce)
8 oz mushroom stems and pieces, well drained (optional)
1/4 c sliced black olives, well drained (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Lay foil on a sheet pan. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
  • 2. Cut the loaf of french bread in half horizontally (like a big submarine sandwich bun.) Pull out the soft bread in the center of both sides. Both halves should look like a shallow bowl. Spray the insides with cooking spray.
  • 3. In a microwave soft bowl place the 3 cloves of minced garlic and the onions. Micro until the onions and garlic are soft.
  • 4. In a larger bowl add the diced or shredded chicken, the red and black peppers, italian parsley, the softed onions and garlic. Stir in the mushrooms and/ or black olives if using. Add both cheeses.
  • 5. Add about half of the jar of alfredo sauce. Mix well. At this point look at the mixture and add more sauce as needed to have the mixture hold together. It should be spoonable, not too sloppy or soupy. This is a sandwich filling and you want it to hold together rather than ending up in your lap. ;-) I usually use under 2/3 of the jar total.
  • 6. Center the bottom half of the hollowed french loaf on the sprayed foil. Spoon the filling end to end. Place the top on it. Spray the top of the finished loaf.
  • 7. Wrap the stuffed bread with Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until heated through. (For crisper bread, bake uncovered for the last 5 minutes.)
  • 8. Unwrap the loaf carefully. Let sit at least 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispy chicken crust, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels before dredging them in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Be sure to stuff the chicken breasts evenly with the Alfredo sauce and spinach filling, so that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked, to prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Serve the stuffed Alfredo chicken immediately, topped with additional Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley, for a delicious and comforting meal.

Conclusion:

Stuffed Alfredo chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful spinach filling, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion entrée, stuffed Alfredo chicken is a great choice.
