yummie recipe...

Chicken & Cheese Manicotti...
- uncooked manicotti noodles
- thin chicken strips (as many strips as you want manicotti OR more if you want some not in the manicotti)
- sprinkle of garlic salt
- string cheese (half the amount you want for manicotti
- jarred tomato sauce - any variety you like
- 3/4 cup water
- shredded mozzarella cheese (we used moz/parm cheese)

make sure chicken strips are thin enough to fit in a manicotti shell with cheese stuffed in it as well

preheat oven to 350F

stuff manicotti shells with chicken and HALF (lengthwise) of a cheese stick
fill all the manicotti shells

mix the jarred pasta sauce with the water, pour some in the bottom of a baking dish, just enough to barely cover the bottom.

lay stuffed shells on top of the sauce, then cover the shells with the remaining sauce/water mixture.

i had extra cheese and chicken, i just placed it in the dish and covered it with sauce.

cover the pan TIGHTLY with foil
bake for 60 minutes
top with the shredded cheese, bake an additional 5 or until the shredded cheese has melted.

pretty easy and good (leftovers are even better!)
