    • 🍝 1 (12 ounce) package manicotti pasta

  • Alfredo Sauce

    • 🧈 6 tablespoons butter
    • 🥛 2 cups heavy whipping cream
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 🧀 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

STEPS

1

Marinate chicken with vinegar, olive oil, and garlic in a resealable plastic bag for at least 30 minutes. Sauté in olive oil until done. Set aside.

2

Cook manicotti pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add heavy cream, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Stir until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low, then add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Set Alfredo sauce aside.

4

Mix ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, marjoram, basil, and cooked chicken in a large bowl to prepare the filling.

5

Stuff cooked manicotti shells with the filling mixture. Cover the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with half the Alfredo sauce, place stuffed shells on top, and cover with the remaining sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and cover with foil.

6

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
