 1 1/2 ts Italian seasoning
     1 ts Salt; divided
   1/2 ts Pepper; divided
     1 tb Olive oil

   1/3 c  Seasoned bread crumbs

MMMMM--------------------------ASSEMBLY-------------------------------
     4 c  Meatless pasta sauce
   1/4 c  Parmesan cheese; grated
     8 oz Fresh mozzarella cheese;
          - thin sliced, halved

 Set oven @ 375 F/190 C.

 Cook shells according to package directions for al dente; drain.
 Toss with oil; spread in an even layer on a baking sheet.

 For filling, toss chicken with Italian seasoning, 1/2 ts salt, and
 1/4 ts pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat;
 saute chicken just until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Reduce
 heat to medium; stir in butter until melted. Stir in bread crumbs;
 cook until crumbs are slightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring
 occasionally. Cool slightly.

 In a large bowl, mix cheeses, milk, parsley, the remaining 1/2 ts
 salt, and 1/4 ts pepper. Fold in chicken mixture.

 Spread 2 cups pasta sauce into a greased 13x9" baking dish. Fill
 each shell with 2-1/2 tb cheese mixture; place over sauce. Top with
 remaining 2 cups sauce and remaining cheeses (dish will be full).

 Cover with greased foil; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake until
 heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
