A combination of two Italian-American favorites, Chicken Parmesan and classic Stuffed Shells.

However, I made a few small changes.

The crunchy breading normally found in Chicken Parmesan is not on the chicken itself.

The base of these Chicken Parm Stuffed Shells is marinara sauce and once the shells are loaded, they're covered in more marinara.

The marinara can either be bought (quick and easy) or made from scratch.
