For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the chicken mixture or sprinkling it over the top of the shells before baking. To prevent the shells from sticking together after boiling, toss them gently with a tablespoon of olive oil. You can substitute ground turkey or sausage for the chicken in this recipe. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the chicken mixture, such as diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
