This is such a great recipe for a couple of reasons! First of all, it is so tasty! Secondly, it makes two family-sized (my family anyway!) dishes, and you get to freeze the second one and save it for a crazier night!
Chicken Manicotti
1 T. garlic powder
1 1/2 lb. chicken breasts
14-16 uncooked manicotti shells
2 jars (26 oz. each) spaghetti sauce
1 lb. bulk sausage, cooked and drained
4 oz. can sliced mushrooms
4 cups (16 oz.) mozzarella cheese
2/3 cup water
1. Rub garlic powder over chicken; cut into 1-inch strips.
2. Stuff chicken into manicotti shells. Spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce in each of two 9x13 dishes.
3. Place 7-8 manicotti shells in each dish. Sprinkle with sausage and mushrooms. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over the top. Sprinkle with cheese.
4. Drizzle water around the edge of each dish. Cover and bake 1 casserole at 375 degrees for 60 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and pasta is tender.
5. Cover and freeze remaining casserole for up to 1 month (I do longer!).
6. FROZEN CASSEROLE: Thaw in refrigerator (I usually do it for at least 24 hours...sometimes longer). Let it stand at room temp for 30 minutes. Bake as directed.

yummy. sounds good. I have a recipe for manicotti that calls for using Newman's Marinara sauce. It's not too expensive and really good
Sounds yummy...where do you find such great recipes?? j/k
My family loves this one too! We just took it to the Wysocki's as a "post-baby" meal and their little girls ate it up"! Glad you are sharing it
