Bake at 350 for about 30 - 45 minutes or until cheese begins to brown (or less if you don't want it brown). Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Mac n' Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Shells

Mac n' Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Shells 3-4 tbsp butter 12 oz evaporated milk 10.5 oz condensed cheddar cheese soup 8 oz brick cream cheese 2 cups shredded precooked chicken (i used a rotisserie chicken) 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided (i used mild, but whatever strikes your fancy) 12 cooked jumbo pasta shells Melt the butter on medium heat over the stove and add cheese soup. wisk until soup is less lumpy. add evaporated milk gradually while wisking until smooth. add 1/2 cup to 1 cup cheddar cheese gradually and continue to wisk as cheese melts. allow cheese to melt thoroughly before adding too much. you should have a thick velveeta-like cheese sauce that is a thick, yet pour-able consistency with no lumps or stringiness. soften cream cheese and combine with the chicken and remaining cheddar. you could probably mash them together with a utensil, but i went straight for it with my hands. stuff the shells with your cream cheese chicken cheddar cheese mixture. arrange stuffed shells in a greased pan and smother them in the cheese sauce. bake at 350 degrees for about a half hour.
