Chicken Stuffed Shells with Two Sauces

I absolutely love my chicken stuffed shells recipe. Save prep time by making the filling and the sauce the night before. Stuff the cooked shells before guests arrive, and bake the dish while you put together a salad. Use a decorating bag without a tip to easily stuff the shells with the chicken mixture.
