YUMMY CHICKEN STUFFED SHELLS
This is my idea of comfort food! Not very figure-friendly but the taste is so worth it :) I usually avoid using "cream of" anything or instant stuffing, but I make an exception for this recipe. I use boneless chicken breasts, but it's a great way to use up any leftover chicken too. Steps 1-4 can be done ahead of time (and freezes well). This makes a large batch so it's good for feeding a crowd. I like serving this with a side of fresh peas and crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
