This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I topped the manicotti with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese before baking. It gave the dish a nice crispy crust.

I added some chopped spinach to the ricotta filling. It gave the dish a nice pop of color and nutrients.

I used a jarred marinara sauce instead of making my own. The dish was still very tasty.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. The dish was still very good.

I made this dish in my slow cooker. It turned out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used zucchini noodles instead of manicotti shells. The dish was still very satisfying.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken for tofu. The dish was still delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my manicotti shells didn't cook evenly. Some of them were still hard, while others were overcooked.

This dish was a bit too complicated for me to make. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.
