A non-freezer dish

2 tsp black pepper

4 Tbsp chopped parsley divided

Preheat  broiler with rack 5 inches from element

Spray 2 muffin tins with non stick spray

Boil water for shells

 

Cook shells al dente and then drain and rinse under cold water

 

Heat oil over medium heat and saute chicken till cooked through 8-9 mins per side

chop to small pieces

 

Warm cream and garlic in large saucepan over medium heat until steaming
Whisk in butter until melted
add 1 c parmesan, 2 tsp pepper and 2 Tbsp parsley

 

Increase heat to medium - high and simmer until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 mins

Broil shells until sauce bubbles and parmesan melts and is golden about 2 mins
