This will make is to the manicotti is saucy all around and will also help the manicotti from sticking to the pan. Fill the manicotti: Use a spoon to scoop the chicken and spinach filling and stuff the manicotti. Press the filling in firmly without breaking the pasta. You want it to be completely full from end to end. Add to the pan: Place the manicotti in the pan in a row. Line them up in a way so you can make the best use of the space in the pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the manicotti making sure every shell is completely covered in sauce. Bake: Cover with foil and bake a 350-degrees F for 55 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, take off the foil and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the shells. I like to be generous with the cheese topping because who doesn’t like extra cheesy manicotti? Bake for 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted, then serve! That being said, I love having pre-cooked chicken on-hand, but I have to do it myself. Oftentimes at the beginning of the week I will cook up a bunch of seasoned chicken on the grill, dice it up, and keep it in the fridge to use on salads or recipes throughout the week. In the winter I will either bake the chicken or cook it in the CrockPot and then dice it up to use in recipes. It’s so convenient to have on hand and it always comes in clutch for this recipe.
