This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the chicken filling, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika.

Overall, this dish was good. The chicken filling was flavorful, but the manicotti shells were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

The manicotti shells were overcooked and the chicken filling was dry. I would recommend cooking the manicotti shells for a shorter amount of time and using a more moist chicken breast.
