In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Stir the sauce until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and pour in the buffalo sauce.

Fill each cooked pasta shell with the buffalo chicken mixture.
Place the filled shells in a single layer in a baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the shells.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Fill each pasta shell generously with the buffalo chicken mixture to enhance the taste.
