• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stuff this filling into the cooked pasta shells and place them in a single layer in a glass 9x13 baking dish.
• In a large sauce pot, heat the cream of chicken soup and the evaporated milk over medium heat until hot. Add the garlic and herb cream cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese; stir well.
• Pour the creamy sauce over the stuffed shells in the baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake at 350F for 40 minutes until hot and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.

• 2. Stuff inside with both cheese's on the breast.
• 3. Then add garlic.
• 4. Sprinkle with sweet basil before closing up and securing with toothpicks or short skewers. (Make sure you have secured the opening because the next step is to roll in butter and bread crumbs.)
• 5. Melt the butter in a flat dish with sides so you can still roll the chicken in it.
• 6. Then roll in bread crumbs.
• 7. Place them in a baking dish or pan.
• 8. Pour remaining butter, or melt a little more, over the chicken.
• 9. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour.
• 10. Make sure to pull out all the toothpicks or skewers before serving. (I like to use the short skewers because they don't get in the way and they are easier to take out once the chicken is ready.)
