This is a family favorite and so easy to make. We started adding a little seasoning to the chicken before stuffing the manicotti and just a little more water because the manicotti comes in a package of 14 instead of the 12 suggested and it was a little dry. The whole family loves this and it is so easy to make.

This was really good; everyone (ages 4 - 54) really liked it. It could have used more broccoli.

This was not good. There was not enough sauce and the manicotti noodles did not cook properly, they never softened. Dinner was ruined.

I love that you don't have to cook the shells beforehand- it's much easier to stuff the shells when they're hard! I added 'mild' diced tomatoes and green chiles (drained) and it gave it a great spicy taste. My non-pasta eating husband loved it because I stuffed each one with tons of chicken!

I LOVE this recipe. I was worried about what my husband would think, since he saw the manicotti shells he thought traditional italian manicotti. But he loved it. Actually I just yelled at him for stealing the leftovers while I was at work! Good good good! Who'd-a-know you could stuff manicotti with chicken?!?!?

My whole family loved it. I would suggest doubling the recipe as the first time I made it it was a little dry. However, it has great flavor and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I really love this recipe. Its one the whole family likes and will eat. The only suggestion I would add is, add in a can of Cambells Cheddar Cheese Soup. Makes more sauce and gives it an extra yummy cheese flavor.

Loved the taste. Next time, I'll add an extra cup of brocolli.

My son and I loved this recipe. The only things I changed were: I doubled the recipe for the sauce; and I boiled the noodles to just al dente before stuffing with chicken. Next time, I'll add more chicken - but either way, my son has declared this to be a "regular" menu item in our home.
