1 1/2 cups canned tomato sauce
2 medium egg whites, lightly beaten

These chicken shells were a waste of time. They were bland and boring. I would not recommend them.

I thought these chicken shells were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These chicken shells were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cheese next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken shells were still undercooked. I had to bake them for an additional 10 minutes.

These chicken shells were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasoning and they were much better.
