Chicken Stuffed Shells

In trying to find healthy recipes for my dinner menu I found this recipe on someone's blog. I want to apologize right now as I do not remember who I took this recipe from, so if it is yours please let me know so I can update and give you credit. This was a super easy recipe to make and fairly quick as well. I did not season the chicken very much which is a change to make for the future as it was a bit bland but still very good. This one is being added to the book of recipes to keep for sure. Thank you whoever I borrowed it from.
