Add a photoNormally this is not what you picture when you think about enchiladas, right? I’m sharing a super fun twist, stuffing jumbo pasta shells with a yummy chicken enchilada filling! So easy and any leftovers freeze great, too. Each fiber rich serving has 304 calories, 6 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber and 8 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.
Ingredientes
- 18 jumbo pasta shells
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 1 cup chicken breasts, cooked and diced (remove skin)
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup fresh corn kernels, from the cob or frozen (about 1 cob)
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 1 (10-12 oz) jar or can Enchilada Sauce
- ½ cup Light Mexican Blend cheese or light cheddar cheese
Direcciones
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking dish (about 11X 7 inch) with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Boil pasta shells in water, 6-8 minutes until soft and al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- In the meantime, on a microwave safe plate, cook onions in microwave for 2 minutes. In a large bowl, add onions, chicken, cottage cheese, beans, corn, egg white, chili powder, cumin, black pepper and ⅓ cup enchilada sauce. Mix well.
- Stuff each shell with about 3 tablespoons mixture. You should have enough to fill 18 shells. Place shells in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce all over stuffed shells. Sprinkle ½ cup cheese evenly over top of shells.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- This dish freezes great. I like to divide into single serving sizes and freeze for another meal or so.
- Makes 6 servings, each serving 3 shells and a little sauce drizzled on top

Shopping Tips
Most supermarkets sell boxes of jumbo pasta shells. They are displayed in the pasta aisle. I used a brand called Barilla.
For this recipe, I used 1 (12oz) bottle of Trader Joe’s Enchilada Sauce. I also did the skinny facts based on this 12 oz bottle. Or you could use 1 (10 oz) can of red enchilada sauce found at most supermarkets.
