Join the discussionI’v made similar and they are really good. I mixed buffalo sauce with light ranch dressing in mine. Yum!
LOVE your blog… wish I could MAKE AND EAT it allAnn Kelly
I made these last night and they were DELICIOUS! It was the perfect amount of buffalo sauce for us. This is the first recipe I’ve made from your blog and look forward to many more 🙂
My family absolutely loved these. Very yummy.
Here are our exact thoughts on this recipe: http://triedandtruerecipeshare…
Glad it was a keeper, despite the shell gutting!
Thanks for sharing!
I made these for supper tonight and they were super yummy! I used light sour cream instead of cottage cheese just because I don’t like the texture of cottage cheese. Definitely will be making these again!
I know this may sound odd but I am wondering how long this will keep if frozen? And can you just freeze the chicken filling and thaw when you want to make another batch? New to cooking, so just thought I would ask. Thanks!!
It will keep easily for 3-6 months. It will mostly loose quality not safety. Yes, you could just freeze the filling. This is a good reference post for you as well – http://onceamonthmom.com/get-s…
Thank you so much!! Made this last night and it was a huge hit!! Looking forward to trying more if the recipes!
So my saint of a mom just did the grocery shopping and came home with regular shell pasta, not jumbo for stuffing. What do you think about adapting the recipe to just mix the sauce with the chicken mixture and have it more like a casserole??
Absolutely. I think it would be delish.
I tried it as a casserole tonight and it turned out great. I just combined the chicken mixture with the large shells and put that in the dish, covered with the sauce and topped w/ cheese. Served it to company who seemed to enjoy it. 🙂
That is great to hear!
Great stuff again OAMM staff! Just a question, have you ever thought about connecting with the Cozi planner people? (anyone else use Cozi?) I use it to keep life sorted and they have a menu planning section. I would love to be able to upload your recipes with them (like your ziplist function). Just wondering. Thanks for all you do!
I was wondering if I could substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese… thoughts?
Sure, I don’t see why not. Would taste just fine.
I ate this dish for dinner tonight. It was to die for!!!
We love our buffalo flavored items around here. 🙂 Glad you liked them.
