Tomato cream chicken stuffed shells

Chicken second courses

Yesterday I asked myself, what kind of pasta dish could I take to a finger food party!? A hearty, warming dish for kids and adults alike. It came to me: stuffed shells, but modified. Made al dente so they don't fall apart, subbing cream cheese for ricotta for a less runny result, and with sauce mixed in filling so they work as finger food. I took some shortcuts with what I had on hand: rotisserie chicken, jarred marinara, garlic cheese sprinkle and dried herbs. I only had 45 minutes max. Success! The first empty dish at the buffet table. Now I am wondering...what would this taste like with my own sauce, fresh herbs, a juicy homemade chicken. If you have that on hand, try and see.
