Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large manicotti
1 -2 tablespoon oil
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut up (reduced fat is okay)

salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.

  • Stir in remaining half and half cream.
  • Stir in the sweet peppers OR pimiento (if using), and Parmesan cheese; heat through, and mix.
  • For the filling, in a large bowl, stir together 3/4 cup of the sauce (set the remaining sauce aside), the cooked chicken, broccoli, onion, salt and pepper.
  • Using a small spoon, stuff each manicotti with about 1/4 cup of the filling.
  • Place in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake, covered for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Place 2 manicotti on each serving plate, spoon sauce over the shells.
  • NOTE:If desired, fresh minced garlic may be added to the cream sauce.
