2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, plus 1/2 cup for topping
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
3 cups steamed broccoli, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, plus 2 tablespoons chopped for garnish
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus 1 cup for topping
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush or spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray; set aside.

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce and fold to coat chicken and broccoli.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce into prepared baking dish and spread to coat. Fill shells with a large spoonful of the chicken and broccoli mixture and arrange in dish. Ladle remaining Alfredo sauce over shells, then top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until sauce is bubbling. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and serve.
