INGREDIENTS

12 shells uncooked jumbo shells
1 1/2 cups marinara
2 medium egg whites, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
4 oz chicken breast, cooked, skinless, diced – Make it yourself or use rotisserie chicken
16 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained of excess water (I use fresh spinach chopped)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/3 cups grated Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2. Cook jumbo shells in boiling water according to the package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent them from cooking further. Set aside.

3. Coat a 9 x 13-inch pan with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup of sauce evenly over bottom of pan and set aside.

4. For filling, in a large bowl, stir together egg whites, ricotta cheese, chicken, spinach, garlic powder, pepper, basil and oregano seasoning. Stir in 1/4 cup each of mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.

5. To assemble, spoon cheese mixture into jumbo shells and place filled shells in a single layer in baking dish. Spread remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses and bake about 30 minutes.
