Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season with salt.
- Add jumbo shells one at a time to prevent them from sticking. Boil until UNDER aldente. You want them to be firm so they don't break when you stuff them. They will continue to cook in the oven. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the shells from the pasta water. Set on a cutting board or large plate to cool.
- While the shells boil, heat a medium skillet to a medium heat. Add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the spinach, sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach and garlic to a large bowl.
- Add shredded chicken, ricotta, fresh mozzarella cubes, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper to the spinach and garlic. Stir until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Set aside.
- Add marinara sauce and cream to the same pan you cooked the spinach and garlic in. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir in parmesan cheese. Once the cheese has melted, remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce into a 9x12 baking dish or a similar size. Use a spoon or your hands to stuff the filling into the shells. Arrange them in the pan. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered until hot and bubbly and the cheese has melted, about 25-30 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH BROCCOLI, SPINACH AND CHEESE
I invented this to use up a small broccoli floret. All of the ingredients were already in my fridge and pantry - a delicious dinner without having to run to the store. I've never stuffed a chicken breast before, so if there is a better method than what I've described below, please let me know! The bread crumbs and cream that I added to the filling really helped keep the chicken moist during cooking by steaming it with flavor from the inside. Swiss or gruyere cheese would be delicious substitutions as well as cheddar - whatever you've got in the fridge. The lemon/herb sauce isn't necesssary but it does add a nice touch when plating and it's also an excellent flavor complement.

- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the stuffing mixture into the pocket in each chicken breast. Press the filling inside the pocket securely with your fingers.

CHICKEN, SPINACH AND FETA STUFFED SHELLS
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!

STUFFED SHELLS (WITH SPINACH AND CHEESE)
A really unique stuffed shells recipe. I usually make this for company. The original recipe included one pound of bulk Italian sausage in the stuffing, which I have omitted for my own personal tastes. I'm getting hungry just typing this recipe and remembering how good it is!
