This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out just as good.

The manicotti shells were a bit tough, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the shells for a little longer next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy salsa. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.

I'm not usually a fan of manicotti, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of the creamy sauce, the tender chicken, and the crispy cheese topping was irresistible.
