Servings: 6

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 package (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

1. Place the chicken breasts in your slow cooker and cover with Alfredo sauce. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.

2. Remove chicken from the slow cooker, shred it with two forks, and set aside. Reserve the Alfredo sauce in the cooker.

3. While the chicken is cooking, boil the pasta shells in salted water until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded chicken until well mixed.

5. Fill each pasta shell with the chicken and cheese mixture and place them back in the slow cooker with the reserved Alfredo sauce.

6. Cover and cook on low for an additional 1-2 hours, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.

7. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

For picky eaters or those with dietary restrictions, consider substituting ground turkey or a plant-based protein for the chicken. You can also sneak in some finely chopped spinach or cooked mushrooms into the cheese mixture for added nutrition. If you’re short on time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
