These Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Shells are so creamy and delicious. These stuffed shells are loaded with flavor and a recipe everyone loves.
I could add ranch flavoring to just about any recipe. This isn’t your typical pasta dish but it has quickly become a favorite in my home.
How to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Shells:
Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F then prepare a 3 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step two: Then cook the pasta shells according to package directions. Once cooked drain and then set aside.
- Tip: Once cooked and drain I like to run cold water through my pasta. This way it’s cool to the touch when you are ready to stuff.
Step three: Now prepare the stuffing. In a sauce pan melt butter over medium heat then whisk in flour until smooth and bubbly. This will take about 1-2 minutes. Once smooth you can slowly add in broth while whisking.
Step four: Slowly add in half and half and then cream cheese. Stir until creamy and smooth then season with ranch seasoning mix.
Step five: Before you add your chicken you will want to add 2-3 spoon fulls of mixture to the bottom of your casserole dish.
Step six: Now with the remaining mixture add in cooked chicken and cooked bacon then mix.
Step seven: Spoon this mixture into each pasta shell then place in your casserole dish.
Step eight: Top all stuffed shells with shredded cheese. Then bake it 25-30 minutes.
Serving Options:
For garnish I topped mine with fresh chopped parsley.
You can serve with with steamed veggies, salad, or garlic bread.
