    Heat two pans with avocado oil. Add the seasoned chicken cutlets to one pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes per side). In the second pan, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly browned. Remove chicken and shrimp from pans, reserving the chicken drippings in one pan.

  6. 6.Dice Chicken

    Dice or shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces.

  7. 7.Prepare the Sauce Base

    Pour in 4 cups of heavy cream and stir. Add the diced chicken back into the pan. Stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan shreds. Season the sauce with 3 teaspoons of Accent, 2 teaspoons of garlic black pepper, 2 teaspoons of Dan-O's, 3 teaspoons of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of Slap Ya Mama. Stir well.

  11. 11.Bake Stuffed Shells

    Pour the remaining sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are all covered.

You can add a little extra butter to the pan if desired.
