What's For Dinner? {Chicken, Spinach, & Cheese Manicotti}

Pinned Image


I found this recipe at http://www.kraftrecipes.com/.  I was looking for something different to do with chicken, and I must say that this one turned out really good!

What You Need

1-1/2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken breasts
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
1 container (16 oz.)  2% Milkfat Low Fat Cottage Cheese (or ricotta cheese)
2 egg whites
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided
10 manicotti shells, cooked, drained
1-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.
COMBINE chicken and garlic in large bowl. Add spinach, cottage cheese, egg whites and 1/4 cup mozzarella; spoon into manicotti shells.
PLACE in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with spaghetti sauce.
BAKE 25 to 30 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining mozzarella; bake 5 min. or until melted. Sprinkle with basil.

I used ricotta cheese and parsely {instead of basil}.  I also added some garlic and herb no salt seasoning to the filling to give it a little more flavor.
