Chicken Manicotti

I found this recipe long ago on the crafting chicks website, (not at all random, huh), but this is the first time that I have tried it, we decided it was a keeper!

1 Box Manicotti Pasta
1 (6 oz) Box Stove Top Stuffing
1 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1 Can Cream Of Chicken Soup
2 Cups Grated Cheese (I used mozzarella)
6 Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts, cooked and cubed or shredded. ( I used tenders)

Season & cook the chicken, or you can use a rotisserie chicken. 

Add the manicotti to a pan of boiling water.  Boil for 9-10 minutes, don't overcook.  The noodles will start to tear if overcooked.  It is also a good idea to stir them occasionally so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan. 

Prepare the Stove Top according to the directions on the box, easy peasy in the microwave!

In a medium bowl, mix together the soup, sour cream and 1 cup of the grated cheese.  Reserve 1 cup of this mixture and set aside.

Combine the chicken, stuffing and sour cream mixture.

When the noodles are done, drain and rinse.  I place mine on a towel to let them cool and prevent them from sticking to each other.

Now the messy fun part.  I used a butter knife to scoop up the mixture and stuff it into the shell, getting it as full as you can get it.  When the filling is gone, or the noodles are all stuffed cover the noodles with the reserved sour cream mixture and sprinkle the cup of cheese on top.  Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Yummy!
