Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Stuffed Shells – Page 2

Variations and Swaps

Swap the Veggies: Try chopped spinach, kale, or even roasted red peppers instead of broccoli.
Add Heat: Stir in crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a little kick.
Creamy Alfredo Sauce: For a richer flavor, use a store-bought Alfredo sauce instead of making a roux-based white sauce.
Meatless Option: Skip the chicken and double the broccoli or add mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free pasta shells and substitute cornstarch for flour in the sauce.
