Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I was so excited to get the air conditioning turned back on but I knew I would have to do some work to keep from losing food.\u00a0 Because I had not been cooking (even using the microwave most days) we had a lot of restaurant leftovers.\u00a0 I had purchased a rotisserie chicken at Costco to help save money.\u00a0 I think we actually had all eaten one meal from it.\u00a0 I found this <a href=\"https:\/\/bowl-me-over.com\/chicken-alfredo-stuffed-shells\/\">recipe<\/a> and knew I wanted to try!\u00a0 The really good news was that it also used up some other things like cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese.\u00a0 I actually split this into 2 separate pans freezing one for later use.\u00a0 \u00a0Matt liked it so well that he asked how much trouble it was to make!\u00a0 This is definitely a repeat but likely one that is made ahead of time in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up using one jar of Alfredo\u00a0 Sauce per pan mixed with 5 oz of melted cream cheese.\u00a0 I also used one cup of mozzarella on each pan as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients-container wprm-recipe-26330-ingredients-container
