CHEESY CHICKEN MANICOTTI (OAMC)
This is a very modified version of recipe #120007. I use banquet chicken tenders because they are longer than the other brands and I put in one per manicotti and I had two leftover. This will make 5-6 8"x8" pans of manicotti depending on how many you put in each pan. I make five.
