MEXICAN CHICKEN STUFFED SHELLS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Cook pasta shells in well salted, boiling water until al dente. If you cook them too long, they will be difficult to stuff, plus they will have additional cooking time, once they are stuffed. Drain the pasta and set aside while you make the filling. Cook, drain and dice enough chicken breast to make 4 cups. I always have homemade chicken stock and pre-cooked diced chicken bagged in my freezer. You could use canned chicken broth if you prefer. To make the filling, mix diced chicken, drained black beans, green onions, diced peppers, and cumin in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, chicken stock and undrained tomatoes with chiles. When thoroughly combined, pour it over the chicken mixture and mix well. (If you have trouble incorporating the cream cheese and tomatoes, you can heat it slightly in the microwave.) Spread 3/4 cup picante sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish. (I used one 13x18x2-inch dish, but two 9×13-inch dishes should also work.) Reserve the final 1/4 cup for later. Using a spoon, or your fingers, fill each of your cooked and cooled pasta shells, setting them into the picante covered pan. Continue until all shells are filled and arranged in the pan. When the pan is full, drizzle the shells with the remaining 1/4 cup of picante and then sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the baking pan tightly with foil and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells until just slightly softened but still firm, about 7 minutes. Drain well, then rinse under cold water. Arrange the shells in a single layer on a baking sheet, without touching each other.
- Cook the chicken tenders according to the package directions. Slice the tenders into quarters; set aside.
- Meanwhile, stir together the ricotta, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Transfer the mixture to a medium resealable plastic bag. Snip 1/2 inch off one corner of the bag.
- Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. While holding a shell open with your fingers, pipe full with the ricotta mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), then transfer to the baking dish. Press 1 chicken strip on top of the ricotta mixture. Repeat with the remaining shells, ricotta and chicken. Spoon the remaining 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.
- Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the casserole is bubbling slightly on the sides, about 25 minutes.
