Spinach And Artichoke Chicken Stuffed Manicotti Pie Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Cook manicotti a couple minutes under the box instructions.
• Drain in a colander, and cut manicotti in half.
• Arrange manicotti tubes upright in a parchment paper-lined springform pan until the pan is packed with the tubes.
• In a large bowl, combine artichokes, spinach, chicken, ricotta cheese, ½ of the mozzarella cheese, ½ of the parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
• Transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture into a piping bag.
• Fill each manicotti tube about ¾ of the way up with spinach and artichoke mixture.
• Spoon tomato sauce over the filled manicotti.
• Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Garnish with parsley, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until nicely browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and stir until slightly softened, about 30 seconds, then add the artichokes and cook, stirring, until the artichokes are hot and the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and stir, then add the cream and more black pepper, if desired, then stir again. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then add the Parmesan and cook for a minute to thicken.
• Add the pimientos, spinach and lemon juice, then stir until the spinach has wilted, for a minute or so. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, spooning a little sauce over the top. Garnish with torn basil leaves and serve with warm bread.

Steps:

• Boil manicotti shells until almost done, about 7 minutes. Shells should be somewhat soft but still have some rigidness to them.
• In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, one egg, spinach and artichoke hearts, salt & pepper until well combined. Spoon mixture into a ziplock back and cut off one corner.
• Cover the bottom of a rectangular baking pan with some of the spaghetti sauce.
• Using the plastic baggie like a piping bag, squeeze mixture into each manicotti shell until full. Place on top of spaghetti sauce, leaving space in between each shell. Leaving space will help with serving later. Cheese mixture should fill approximately 8-10 shells.
• Top the shells with more of the spaghetti sauce, mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with parmesan.
• Cover with foil and bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine all ingredients (top 12 items) in large mixing bowl. Cook manicotti "per package directions" (I actually cook the manicotti for about a minute to a minute and a half LESS than what is directed for a firmer noodle - easier to stuff!). Drain and rinse pasta with cool water.
• Spray 2 - 13 x 9 casseroles w/cooking spray and place well-stuffed manicotti in casseroles.
• Coat manicotti with Alfredo sauce.
• Garnish with additional Parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired.
• Cover casseroles with foil and bake at 400 oF for 30 minutes.
