How to make Chicken Parmesan Jumbo Shells
Stuffing
- Preheat oven at 400 Degrees F.
- Season Chicken Breast on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
- Coat chicken first with eggs then dip in flour.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs on both sides of the chicken.
- Bake chicken until tender.
- Allow to cool down and dice the chicken into small cubes.
Bechamel Sauce
I like using a creamy milk sauce instead of ricotta cheese when stuffing any pasta. This sauce will create texture and won’t result in a dry mixture. Here’s how to make it!
- Using a sauce pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, sift the flour and mix in with the butter. Mix until the consistency is golden in color.
- Pour the milk one cup at a time, stirring in between.
- Sauce should thicken as you are mixing.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Pasta
- Cook jumbo pasta shells according to instructions.
- Rinse with cold water and set aside.
