Chicken Salad Stuff Shells Recipe


Hi Doll's
Welcome Back!!!

I am back with another rocking twist to one of my favorite's, and to no surprise it's a pasta dish!! you all thought I was kidding when I said "my love for pasta runs deep." Today we are going to be making chicken salad stuff shells now does that not sound delish.
This dish is perfect for a quick lunch or a picnic or if you want to get lil crazy you can also eat it with Your hands, Now is that not awesome or what.
The more I keep blabing the more I want to get making it, So let's begin.

Things your going to Need  

-bowl for mixing 
- pot for cooking the noodles 
-1 box of jumbo pasta shells 
- 2 cups of chicken chopped ( I used a rotisserie Chicken )
-1 cup of celery chopped
-1 cup of seedless red grapes cut in half 
-1 cup of Red onion diced  
-1/2 tsp of salt 
-1 TBS of lemon Juice 
-1/2 cup of mayonnaise ( you may need more if needed )
- Course Parmesan cheese 

Directions 

Grab a Large Cooking pot and fill with water, add some salt  and bring it to a boil 


Add the the box of jumbo pasta shells and cook for about 8 minutes


while that is cooking grab your chicken, you can make the chicken yourself Or you can do what I do and go to the store and buy one off the rotisserie. Then you want to cut it into cubes and put that in your mixing Bowl.



 next take the red seedless Grapes and give them a rinse. Cut them in half  and place them in the bowl.



 Grab 2 stalks of celery which should give you 1 cup but you may need more. Give them a good rinse and you want to cut them and place into the bowl.



 Now Grab 1 cup of Red onion diced and put into the bowl 


 By Now the Pasta noodles should be finished so you want to drain them and run them under cold water and then place into the fridge to cool down. 


Now take 1 TBS of Lemon Juice and 1/2 tsp of salt and pour it into your bowl.


Take 1/2 Cup Of mayonnaise and plop it into your bowl. you may need more depending on your taste.



Now Mix it together really well and place this in the fridge to get cooled. 


Once everything is cooled you may need to add more mayonnaise but that's totally up to you. Grab your shell and carefully spread a thin layer of  mayonnaise inside then scoop some chicken salad 
and place it in your shell and then place on a dish. 
you do this till all the shells are stuffed.


When that all finished  sprinkle some course Parmesan Cheese on top 
and get ready to enjoy every bite.


Well that's it dolls I hope you enjoyed this easy and fun twist just as much as I do. 
let me know if you give this a try. What pasta dish have you made lately?  I just have to know.
