4. Stuff Shells: Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture into each cooked pasta shell.

6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
