Chicken Manicotti
Pasta with a little Spanish spice.
Servings: 8
- 14 manicotti shells
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 3 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese, divided
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz. diced green chili
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 cup salsa
Boil and cool the manicotti shells according to package directions.
Mix the rest of the ingredients, except the shredded chicken and half the cheddar-jack cheese, in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken.
Fill a large pastry bag with meat mixture and pipe it into the shells.
Place half a cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a casserole pan. Line with the pasta shells. Pour the rest of the sauce on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350°.
Just before serving, uncover the casserole pan and top with the rest of the cheese. Place back into the oven to melt. Add sun-dried tomatoes to the cheese to dress it up.
