There’s something magical about sitting down to a warm, bubbling dish on a chilly evening—the kind of meal that wraps you in comfort with each bite. Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Stuffed Shells is that perfect dish. It’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner, yet indulgent enough to serve at a small gathering or holiday meal. With tender pasta shells loaded with a hearty mix of chicken, broccoli, and cheddar, then baked in a creamy sauce, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home too.

This dish was inspired by my grandmother’s love for all things cheesy and creamy.
