Ingredients<\/h4>
  • 1 pound ground chicken<\/li>
  • \u00bc cup butter<\/li>
  • 1 cup cayenne pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot\u00ae)<\/li>
  • 1 (16 ounce) container whipped ricotta cheese<\/li>
  • cooking spray\u00a0<\/li>
  • 1 (16 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells\u00a0<\/li>
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend\u00a0<\/li>
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste <\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Directions<\/h4>
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground chicken in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.<\/li>
    • Melt butter in the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir cayenne pepper sauce into the chicken mixture and remove from heat.<\/li>
    • Squeeze as much moisture from the ricotta cheese using a cheese cloth or paper towels; put drained cheese in a large bowl. Add chicken mixture to the cheese and stir. Refrigerate until completely chilled, 3 to 4 hours.<\/li>
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.<\/li>
    • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shells in the boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water until no longer hot; drain.<\/li>
    • Spoon chicken mixture into cooked pasta shells and arrange into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend over the stuffed shells; season with salt and pepper.<\/li>
    • Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is slightly melted and the stuffing is hot in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. <\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

      This is a hit for football Sundays. For a thicker stuffing, drain ricotta overnight.
