Stuffed shells filled with creamy Alfredo, shredded chicken, cheese, and even bacon. Served with a big salad and garlic bread, this Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells makes the perfect dinner idea.
We love stuffed shells around here. If I'm being honest we really love any pasta recipe, it's kind of my weakness. I could give up just about any carb but would have to keep the pasta! I love making stuffed shells because you get the entire flavor from your recipe in one bite. Plus my kids feel the same way about pasta as I do so it's always a recipe that the entire family enjoys. For this recipe I took a spin on one of the classic and of course added bacon. Just take a look at these, pasta, cheese, and bacon! Talk about the perfect recipe. The filling is creamy Alfredo sauce, with shredded chicken, cheese, and bacon. On top I sprinkled a little more cheese before baking. Serve it with a big yummy salad and easy homemade garlic bread for the perfect dinner!

Is the shell cooked already or is it being cooked in the oven??
I boil the shells first according got the package directions. Then fill them and bake.
Just made this for a quarantine lunch. Had ground chicken so used that instead of shredded along with homemade Alfredo sauce that I typically whip up. This is going at the top of the list for repeats! Delicious! Loved the bacon (and didn’t think I would). My kids ate a lot and kept saying how good it was.
So happy to hear that!
Definitely one of my favorite dishes to make! I only use rotisserie chicken (any flavor) and I add chopped spinach. This is beyond Delicious!!
What degree to bake at?
Hi Brittany! You bake this one at 350 degrees F. I hope you enjoy the recipe!!
One of our favorites, making this again tonight.
