Tonight is the night Gene goes out to eat dinner with friends and then goes witnessing with them. I will often cook something he doesn’t care for, that the girls and I like, since he’s gone. Tonight I made Chicken Manicotti. It was quite easy & the girls loved it!
I’m trying to use up the meat I have in the freezer, so I decided to use some boneless skinless chicken tenders that I have.
I did not thaw these first; I often do this when pressed for time, and it usually turns out just fine.
I then made a mixture of Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic powder, and salt which I sprinkled over the chicken.
While my chicken was cooking I boiled and drained my pasta.
I then made my cheese mixture which included 15 oz ricotta cheese, 1 cup grated mozzarella, 1 egg, Italian seasoning & oregano. (sorry I didn’t measure the seasonings)
I then put it in a ziploc bag for easy piping.
I sliced the chicken tenders into smaller pieces, and stuffed them in the manicotti and piped in the cheese.
For my sauce I put 2 cans of roasted garlic and one can of Italian seasoned tomatoes through the blender.
I poured the sauce over the manicotti and cooked at 400 F until bubbly. (sorry for the blurry picture)
