20 whole jumbo pasta shells, cooked and drained
2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for grilling and frying
3/4 c. ricotta cheese
3/4 c. cottage cheese
3/4 c. grated mozzarella cheese, plus more for the top

Pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly, and cook for a few minutes, until thickened. Add the garlic, the additional 1 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, and minced basil and stir until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.
