This was Awesome! My Hubby and fam really enjoyed them. Although I did add a few things. I added a jar of minced garlic, a can of Italian tomatoes, and a can of rotel. I also added marinara sauce in the chicken mixture. It turned out great will def do this over. Thanks!

We use this recipe all the time! Our family doesn't like a lot of onion so I leave them out. And I use seasoned breadcrumbs and omit the spices. I also don't bother melting the cheese in the pan before stuffing the shells. Everything gets melted when it bakes anyway. Even my 7 year old asks for seconds!

This was SOOO yummy. I used shredded chicken I had left over. Seasoned it with garlic, oregano, etc. Added a spoonful of cream cheese (sour cream would work too) mixed it all together and filled the shells. Definitely use the biggest shells, I had the medium size and it took forever to fill them all :) Used spaghetti sauce on top. Perfect!

This was a great dish! I thought it would be dry but turned out great. Didn't last long at my house and more filling than they look.

This was a good dish! Made them for a pot-luck style dinner. marinated the chicken first in an Italian dressing, then tossed with the breadcrumbs. Had used "Best marinara sauce" recipe instead of jarred sauce. Made a lot and had few trays for dinner, watched as many had 2-3 on their plate each trip!! Was a hit!

I absolutely loved this! It was a nice change from beef manicotti shells. The only thing I changed was I added some ricotta cheese into the stuffing. Next time I make it I'll probably grill the chicken a bit before adding the bread crumbs. Thanks for the recipe!

I used other reviewers suggestions and simmered the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and italian seasonings. I used fresh basil and oregano in the filling and also added about 1.5 oz cream cheese to the mixture. I made a whole box of shells and froze half of them for another time. Very good! thanks for the recipe!

Kind of plain tasting, and I didn't have much on hand to fix that. Too much prep for not so much taste.

I thought this looked boring as is so I changed it up. I boiled chicken and shredded it. I mixed it with spinach, rictta cheese, parm cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg. I then added one beaten egg and mixed everything together and stuffed manicotti shells with the mixture and put homemade marinara sauce and topped with mozzarella and parm cheeses. I baked until nice and crusty and got rave reviews. I saved 2 shells with mixture and froze to save for next time to make with alfred sauce instead of the red sauce. Thanks for the recipe...you can be very creative with this.

I did change the method for this . I baked the chicken, then shredded it and cooked the onions in a little olive oil until just tender. I then mixed in the breadcrumbs, egg, herbs and cheeses. My only change to the ingredients was to use pasta sauce instead of tomato. We all loved this and it also worked really well with fake chicken for my oldest daughter. Many Thanks.

I made this for dinner last night.It was very good.I did do a few things my way.I coated the chicken with eggs and bread crumbs instead of mixing them all together in the pan. I used spices my family likes ,garlic salt,onion powder,italian seasong and pepper. I also let the chicken cool for a min then added the cheese less mess than letting it melt together and I used spagetti sauce. We all liked it alot will make it again.

So I didn't follow the recipe exactly because I was lazy and didn't want to deal with cutting up chicken so I went to the store to look for ground chicken but picked up ground turkey instead that was already seasoned with italian spices. Other than that i followed the recipe exactly. I just didn't add the extra spices since the turkey was all set. It was yummy!!!! And all four of us cleaned our plates at the dinner table. Thank goodness for being lazy!! :0)

HEAVENLY!! Though we made a few changes, in lieu of one of the chicken breasts, we used 1/2 lb italian sausage--YUM. Also, instead of the red sauce, we covered these with the green onion-parmesan mornay sauce from this site which was so very rich and cheesy! Had some shells left over and those we put red sauce and cheese on. Two totally different flavors, but both very good! Excellent recipe that we will use for guests in the future! Thanks!

These were pretty good. My family enjoyed them. Different from the ricotta cheese stuffed shells but a nice change. I did use spaghetti sauce rather than tomato sauce. I would make this again.

Overall, very tasty and semi-easy recipe. Next time I make this I will just use breaded chicken tenders dipped in milk and the seasonings (the chicken and bread crumbs were a pain and breaded meat will result in the same product overall). I will also use a jar of spaghetti sauce; tomato sauce just didn't cut it!

I didn't think adding the egg and chicken and bread crumbs would work, but even though it looks odd, it tastes great :-) I used a bit more sauce too.

Great recipe! Really good flavor but needs more sauce and shredded or very small cubed chcicken. We used a jar of spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce which added to the flavor. We will definitely have this again. Great make ahead prep for an event.

These were great. Made these for dinner over the weekend. I made some modifications. I like other reviewers cooked the chicken in some EVOO and garlic, then added everything else in. I shredded the chicken and mixed with ricotta cheese and mozz/parm cheese... then stuffed the shells. Topped with homemade sauce... great.

MY HUSBAND COULDN'T RAVE MORE ABOUT THIS RECIPE! I cook ALOT! I vary dishes all the time, this one I only added mushrooms and more onion for him. For some reason it smells like holidays cooking! I also added the bread crumbs and then the cheese last. Without a doubt you could follow it exactly and still get awesome feedback!

I really liked this recipe. The only thing that i had trouble with was the part of the directions that have you cooking the chicken with the bread crumb and egg mixture. When i did this the bread crumbs and egg got really brown and started sticking to the skillet. So i recommend cutting your chicken breasts up into 1 inch squares first. Then cook your chicken till its about done... add the mixture (crumbs and eggs) with a little (a teaspoon) of oil and cooking till the chicken and egg is completely done. I chopped the chicken up with the end of my spatula once it was done so it would go into the shells better. Other than that... recipe was awesome! tastes like breaded Chicken Parmesan, stuffed in big shells :) Enjoy!
