Chicken and Broccoli Stuffed Shells with Alfredo Sauce

Sometimes limitations bring forth the best creations.

Recently, on a message board someone wanted to make stuffed shells. She wanted to use chicken, no red sauce, no spinach and no ricotta. She did have a jar of alfredo sauce. I don’t know what the woman ended up making, but this is what I suggested. It sounded so good, I decided to try it myself.

Chicken, broccoli and mozzarella cheese fill the shells which are covered with alfredo sauce and baked. Bonus -the recipe makes enough to put some in the freezer.
