Ingredients 

1 Gold'n Plump® Deli Rotisserie Chicken, meat removed and coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
1 package (16 ounce) large pasta shells, about 26 shells
1 container (15 ounce) ricotta cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 containers (10 ounce) refrigerated Alfredo sauce
1 can (15 ounce) diced tomatoes with basil and oregano
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions 

Cook shells as directed on package.

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray, a 13” x 9” baking dish.

Stir together ricotta cheese, green onion, lemon peel, and 1 container of Alfredo sauce in a large bowl; mix well. Add the chicken; mix well.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each shell. Place filled shells close together in the baking dish.

Stir together the remaining container of Alfredo sauce and tomatoes in a medium bowl. Spoon the sauce over the filled shells.

Lightly spray a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place sprayed side down on pan and seal edges.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until hot. Remove aluminum foil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Bake 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
