Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups part skim ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 manicotti shells, cook according to package
  • 24 ounces spaghetti sauce, 1 jar
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded chicken, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper together. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Fill each cooked Manicotti with the chicken and cheese mixture carefully so that the shell doesn't tear (I fill a plastic bag and cut a small corner - this makes filling the Manicotti easier and then I just throw away the bag when I'm done).
  4. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and place the stuffed Manicotti in it.
  5. Pour the spaghetti sauce on top. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and place basil leaves on top. Bake for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
