  4. In a bowl, place the cheese in and add the shredded chicken
  5. Refrigerate this mix for at least 3 hours.

  8. Preheat the oven to 350*
  9. Lightly spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick spray
  10. Using a cookie scoop, fill each shell with some of the filling
  11. Place the shells into the prepared baking pan
  12. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese on top of each shell
  13. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, do not over-bake, you do not want crispy shells

Enjoy.
