MEXICAN STUFFED SHELLS
My husband and I both love Mexican food-the hotter the better. But since our children and friends like milder dishes, I created this recipe. It's delicious, inexpensive and quick to fix. -Norma Jean Shaw of Stephens City, Virginia

MEXICAN CHICKEN STUFFED SHELLS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Cook pasta shells in well salted, boiling water until al dente. If you cook them too long, they will be difficult to stuff, plus they will have additional cooking time, once they are stuffed. Drain the pasta and set aside while you make the filling. Cook, drain and dice enough chicken breast to make 4 cups. I always have homemade chicken stock and pre-cooked diced chicken bagged in my freezer. You could use canned chicken broth if you prefer. To make the filling, mix diced chicken, drained black beans, green onions, diced peppers, and cumin in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, chicken stock and undrained tomatoes with chiles. When thoroughly combined, pour it over the chicken mixture and mix well. (If you have trouble incorporating the cream cheese and tomatoes, you can heat it slightly in the microwave.) Spread 3/4 cup picante sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish. (I used one 13x18x2-inch dish, but two 9×13-inch dishes should also work.) Reserve the final 1/4 cup for later. Using a spoon, or your fingers, fill each of your cooked and cooled pasta shells, setting them into the picante covered pan. Continue until all shells are filled and arranged in the pan. When the pan is full, drizzle the shells with the remaining 1/4 cup of picante and then sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the baking pan tightly with foil and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

A beloved favorite recipe that's been around awhile. While the crushed tortilla chips are optional, I personally love the crunch.
