directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook pasta according to package directions, drain.
Melt the butter in a large skillet, add chicken and onion, and cook until chicken is done, about 7-9 minutes.
Stir in breadcrumbs, and remove from heat.
In a bowl, combine egg, ricotta, half the mozzarella and half the cheddar, spices, salt and pepper.
Add the chicken mixture.
Fill shells and place in a 11x7 inch pan.
Combine tomato sauce, mushrooms, mozzarella and cheddar; pour mixture over shells.
Sprinkle with parmesan if using.
I like to sprinkle with more mozzarella as well.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

These are delicious stuffed shells. I've never made stuffed shells with chicken in them before and these were wonderful. It is a nice change and my family really enjoyed this version. I will make these again!

I doubled the recipe and used cottage cheese (that's what I had on hand). My family liked it. DH said it would also be good w/ sausage, maybe better. Anyway, will be making this again!
