1 Tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 jars (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 1/4 cups water

Steps:

In a Dutch oven, saute the mushrooms, peppers and onions in oil until tender; add garlic, cook 1 minute longer. Stir in spaghetti sauce and water.
Sprinkle chicken with basil and chicken seasoning. Stuff chicken into uncooked manicotti shells. Spread 1 cup sauce mixture in each of two greased 13" x 9" baking dishes. Arrange manicotti over sauce; sprinkle with sausage. Pour remaining sauce over top; sprinkle with cheeses.
