1/2 cup buffalo sauce
-
1/2 cup cream cheese
-
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cook jumbo pasta shells according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté diced bell pepper and onion until softened.
-
Add minced garlic and ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Stir in buffalo sauce and cream cheese until melted and creamy. Let mixture cool slightly.
-
In a bowl, mix the chicken mixture with blue cheese crumbles and half of the shredded mozzarella.
-
Fill each cooked shell with the chicken mixture and place them in a greased baking dish.
-
Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
-
Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
Notes
-
Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut—just shred and mix with sauce and cheese.
-
Not a fan of blue cheese? Swap it with feta or more mozzarella.
-
Leftovers keep well for 3 days in the fridge and reheat beautifully.
