Expert Tips

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.

I'd use a little less of the basil. But overall it was great!

This is one of my go to classics now for the family. It is one of only a very few that my kids will ask for seconds and eat leftovers of it. On occassion I have tweeked it by adding mushrooms and a little cream cheese to the stuffing this is a good variation.
