Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Cook the jumbo pasta shells in salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Shred or chop the chicken once cooled.
In the same skillet, stir in heavy cream over low heat until warmed. Gradually add mozzarella until melted.

Fill each pasta shell with the mixture, place them in the baking dish, and top with remaining sauce and Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
