    Chicken and broccoli stuffed shells has quickly become a Seeley family favorite. It even won the kids seal of approval and that is saying A LOT! I love the combination of chicken and broccoli like this Homemade Chicken and Broccoli Hot Pocket. You can take shortcuts with this meal by using rotisserie chicken and jarred Alfredo sauce. I make my own Alfredo and it takes less than 10 minutes.

    This chicken and broccoli dish is a great one to double the recipe and make two. One to eat now and one to freeze. To freeze, cover and freeze unbaked casserole. When you are ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator and then bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

    Tips for making Chicken and Broccoli Stuffed Shells:

    • Short on time? Use jarred Alfredo sauce.
    • Don’t want the bread crumbs? Top with a little extra cheddar cheese or just leave them as is.
    • Don’t forget to spray the bottom of the baking dish so the shells don’t stick.
    • I like serving this dish with a little side salad for a complete meal.
