Instructions

Creating Creamy Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Shells is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

4. Stuff the Shells: Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each jumbo shell with the buffalo chicken mixture.

6. Top with Sauce: Drizzle additional buffalo sauce over the stuffed shells. If desired, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top for added flavor.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the shells to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
