Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Manicotti

Creamy chicken Alfredo stuffed inside manicotti noodles, topped with chicken Alfredo and mozzarella cheese. I created this recipe myself so it is by no means professional. I have never shared a recipe before but my family loves this one so much I figured this would be a good first one.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
• 4 cups chicken stock, or as needed
• 2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
• ¼ cup chopped green onions (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan. Add chicken breasts. Cook until chicken can be easily pulled apart with a fork, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled. Shred using 2 forks.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook manicotti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until still firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain.

Step 4

Mix shredded chicken, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, mushrooms, green onions, and garlic together in a bowl. Pour in enough Alfredo sauce until filling has a thick and creamy consistency.

Step 5

Spoon chicken filling into a piping bag, reserving about 1/2 cup of the filling in the bowl. Pipe filling into manicotti.

Step 6

Mix remaining Alfredo sauce with reserved chicken filling in the bowl.

Step 7

Arrange stuffed manicotti in a baking dish. Cover evenly with Alfredo sauce mixture until there are no dry spots. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until cheese starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
