Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Shells
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cook jumbo pasta shells in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, garlic powder, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the ranch or blue cheese dressing to the filling mixture and adjust flavors to taste.
- Stuff each cooled shell with the creamy chicken mixture, arranging them in a single layer in the baking dish.
- Spread any remaining filling over the top of the stuffed shells and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil for the last 5-7 minutes for a crispy top.
- Let the dish sit for a few minutes before serving, optionally garnishing with chopped green onions or parsley.
