CHICKEN, SPINACH AND FETA STUFFED SHELLS

Chicken, Spinach and Feta Stuffed Shells image

My spin on an Atheno's recipe. I added the chicken cuz I gotta have a little meat! Very rich and yummy dish. Shells are easier to fill when their cool rather than hot and cooked to just al dente. Serve with salad and garlic bread! Enjoy!
