BUFFALO CHICKEN STUFFED SHELLS

Two of my hubby's favorite dishes are stuffed shells and buffalo chicken wings. So I thought "why not combine these two yummy dishes into one?"  I figured that stuffing large shells with a mix of cheeses, chicken, and hot sauce would be super scrumptious! They turned out amazing and quickly became a often requested meal in our home!

 

 

 

 

WHAT YOU NEED:

 

*1 box large shells

*1 pkg.  blue cheese crumbles

*1 chicken breast

*1 (8 oz.) pkg.  cream cheese, softened

*1/2c  blue cheese dressing

*1/2c  hot sauce

 

For the sauce:

*3 tbsp. butter

*1/4c  hot sauce

*1/4c  blue cheese dressing

 

 

WHAT YOU DO:

 

Cook shells according to directions on box, but only until shells are cooked but still firm.  Drain and cool. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss gently to keep them from sticking together.

 

Cook chicken breast in skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, until browned and cooked through.  Let cool and shred with a fork.

 

Add shredded chicken to bowl with red hot, blue cheese crumbles and dressing, and cream cheese. Mix until blended.  Stuff shells with mixture and place in large baking dish.



 

In saucepan, melt butter and hot sauce until heated then add 1/4 cup of blue cheese dressing.  Drizzle over shells. Bake in oven at 375* for 15 minutes.
