chicken stuffed shells

[viper125]

Well with costs the way they are today we have been buying our chickens whole. The I butcher them. This way the wife gets her skinned ,boneless breasts for 70-80 cents a lb. In stead of 3.99 lb. We normally part it out and save scraps for soup or broth. She let me get the breasts out today and then boiled the rest. Then pealed all the meat off and tore up. Added that to some stove top stuffing and stuffed that in to large pasta shells. She put that in a glass cake pan and covered in cream of chicken soup. Baked in the oven till down. It was great that way. Told her next time we will smoke the chicken and try.
