CHEESY CHICKEN STUFFED SHELLS
I came up with this trying to duplicate a frozen dinner from my childhood. This is my childrens' most requested dinner. I am sometimes inconsistent though and will add a can of either cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup to the white sauce.

Tips:
- For a crispier shell, use wonton wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers.
- To make the filling ahead of time, cook and shred the chicken and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to assemble the shells, simply reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
- If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the shells in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to grease the dish well so that the shells don't stick.
- To make the shells even cheesier, add an extra 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the filling.
