Just made this dish, and it turned out to be very delicious. I did follow some of the suggestions that I read. I cooked the chicken tenders and chopped them. I then added riccotti cheese and a little mozz. cheese,covered with sauce and foil. In 1 hr. I uncovered it and added cheese, 10 mins later we were eating. I will make it again.

Very easy to make, although I wasn't a big fan of handling the raw chicken that much. The pasta came out a little chewy even though I added a can of tomatoes, thinking that the extra liquid would help the pasta cook more. I will make this again, but will add more liquid and more spices. I had 2 shells left after I had stuffed in all the chicken so I made a quick mixture of cottage cheese (I didn't have any ricotta), shredded cheddar and Italian spices and stuffed them with that - I think it was even better than the chicken!
