0 Likes
Total Time:
Stuffed manicotti filled with marinated chicken, ricotta, herbs, and creamy Alfredo sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and baked until golden perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 0.5 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1 (12 ounce) package manicotti pasta
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  • Place the chicken in a big zip-top bag with vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. Let it marinade for at least 30 minutes. Sear in a drizzle of olive oil until cooked through. Then, set it aside.
  • Boil pasta until perfectly tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter or margarine. Stir in heavy cream, salt, nutmeg, and ground black pepper until sauce thickens. Lower heat, mix in grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Set aside the Alfredo sauce.
  • Combine ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, marjoram, and basil in a large bowl. Stir in cooked chicken.
  • Fill manicotti shells with a delicious blend of chicken and ricotta. Spread half of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells over the sauce and pour the rest of the sauce on top. Sprinkle one cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the shells, then cover with foil.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45 minutes. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
