Wow ! This was really easy and really good. I cubed the chicken and used about 20 ounces because the package of manictti shells contained 14. I also used an entire 16 ounce package of frozen broccolli florets. I used the 2% Velveeta and found that letting the dish sit for 5-10 minutes before serving improved the sauce. I have not used Velveeta in a long time but will keep it handy from now on.

My family loved this dish. But next time, I will make more sauce add some garlic and onion powder for extra flavor. The chicken cooked perfectly in the shells which turned out al dente. Has been added to our dinner meal rotation!

My kids and I love this dish! I actually dip the chicken in BBQ sauce before stuffing them into the manicotti. Made it a bit more interesting. I also omit the broccoli, since I don't live in a broccoli friendly home. Tasty sauce!

Very good, pretty easy, though does take some time to prepare and cook...

Interesting preparation but it is easy and just one pan. The 2% cheese tasted good but seemed to separate a little.

Was not bad, It wasn't too dry and it was pretty tastey. Made it with the 2% Velveeta and the 98% fat-free low sodium cxn broth. Would make again.

I made this with cooking the chicken and manicotti and without cooking it. I think it is good either way. It is strange stuffing raw chicken in those shells, but I think it turns out more tender. Also I used 1 can cream of chicken, 1 can cheddar soup and the velveeta. It does need the added sauce to cook up nice. I am actually making it tonight. Yummy.

My family of picky eaters loves this recipe. It was easy and didn't take too much time. The broccoli adds a great boost of flavor and texture to the creamy sauce.
