  • Beat egg yolks in a small bowl. Add a spoonful of the hot milk mixture to the eggs, stirring to temper the eggs. Repeat with several more spoonfuls.
  • Slowly add the egg mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a large mixing bowl toss together chicken, broccoli, and ½ cup alfredo sauce.
  • Add a spoonful of alfredo sauce to the bottom of a 9×13'' pan.
  • Fill shells with a large spoonful of chicken and broccoli mixture and place in prepared pan.
  • Pour remaining alfredo sauce evenly over the shells. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until warm and bubbly.
