Scale
  • 7 manicotti shells (cooked according to package directions)
  • `1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Heat the crushed tomatoes in a saucepan over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of chopped basil and stir frequently until the mixture starts to bubble.
  2. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of the sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish.

  4. In a medium bowl combine the cooked chicken, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, salt and pepper and stir until well combined.
  5. Stuff each manicotti with about ¼ cup of the chicken and cheese mixture carefully so that the manicotti doesn’t tear.
  6. Place the stuffed manicotti shells in a layer over the sauce in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the shells. Top with shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
  7. Place into the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Top with fresh basil and serve.
