This has become an easy, tasty, family-favorite recipe. I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips to fill the shells (about one split chicken breast/2 shells). Otherwise I make the recipe according to directions. With the dish covered tightly with foil, the chicken and noodles cook completely and are very tender. It is nice to have a quick recipe such as this that is yummy and my family enjoys!

We have made several times using left over grilled marinated chicken breasts mixed with ricotta, parmesan, garlic powder, fresh chopped basil to taste mixed with a spoonful or 2 of the pasta sauce (tomatoe or alfredo-both awesome. Always use plenty of extra sauce so noodles do not dry out & make a double batch since they freeze very well.
