Cheesy Chicken Manicotti (Oamc) image

This is a very modified version of recipe #120007. I use banquet chicken tenders because they are longer than the other brands and I put in one per manicotti and I had two leftover. This will make 5-6 8"x8" pans of manicotti depending on how many you put in each pan. I make five.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped spinach or kale to the filling.
