CHICKEN ALFREDO STUFFED MANICOTTI
Creamy chicken Alfredo stuffed inside manicotti noodles, topped with chicken Alfredo and mozzarella cheese. I created this recipe myself so it is by no means professional. I have never shared a recipe before but my family loves this one so much I figured this would be a good first one.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta shells according to package directions for al dente. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to touch.
- Mix the ricotta, 1 cup of the Italian blend cheese, the red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 1 pinch of the nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and add the leek to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour the wine into the pot and stir to scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and reduce until completely evaporated, stirring. Lower the heat to medium, pour in the cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining pinch nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Fold the chicken and its juices from the plate into the ricotta mixture. Spread 1 cup of the cream sauce onto the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Fill each pasta shell with a spoonful of ricotta mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells, seam-side up, shingling them so they all fit (you should have 5 shells along the short side and 6 shells along the long side). Ladle the remaining sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Italian cheese blend and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese and tops of noodles start to turn golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before sprinkling with some chives and more red pepper flakes.

Steps:
- With a meat mallet pound chicken until it is about the same thickness all over.
- Heat a little oil in a pan, add mushrooms and garlic, and cook until mushrooms are soft. In a small pan cook bacon until browned.
- In a large Saucepan bring some water to the boil, add spinach and cook until spinach wilts, drain, rinse under cold water, squeeze out any excess liquid.
- In a bowl combine spinach, mushrooms, bacon and boursin, mix until it is well combined. ( there should be enough heat left from mushrooms, to soften cheese, to mix evenly, if not just zap it for 20-30 seconds in the microwave, to make it easy to combine.).
- Dived mixture evenly between 4 breasts, Laying it on one half of the breast roll the other half over the top to cover and secure with tooth picks.
- Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish, place chicken in, drizzle a little more oil over the top of each breast, bake in a pre-heated oven 180c, for about 40-50 Min's or until chicken is cooked. (cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the breast.
- For the Sauce:.
- In a sauce pan add cream, butter and garlic powder, heat through making sure butter has melted, add Parmesan cheese, cream cheese and pepper to taste.
- Simmer on a low heat 15-20 Min's, This allows the cheese to be well and truly melted and really brings out the taste, the longer you simmer the sauce for, the more tasty it will be, just remember to stir from time to time.
- To serve cut chicken in half place on plate and pour sauce over. Alternatively slice chicken into pieces place on top of pasta and pour sauce over. MMmmmmm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Rinse and scrub potatoes, then prick with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Set on the prepared rack.
- Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until the internal temperature is 205 to 212 degrees F (96 to 100 degrees C), about 50 minutes.
- While potatoes are baking, remove meat from rotisserie chicken; discard skin and bones. Pull or cut meat into chunks and keep warm.
- Prepare Alfredo sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Add garlic in a single layer; cook until soft and fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat and pour in half-and-half and cream; whisk to incorporate. Add Parmesan cheese and pepper and continue to whisk, until cheese is melted.
- Place vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until warm, about 3 minutes. Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces if desired, and mix with chicken.
- When potatoes are finished baking, remove from the oven. Cut a slit into each potato with a fork or a knife, leaving 1/2 inch uncut on edge. Use both hands to press each potato in towards the center so it opens up. This will help let you stuff the potato.
- Top potatoes with chicken mixture and drizzle with Alfredo sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Lay foil on a sheet pan. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
- 2. Cut the loaf of french bread in half horizontally (like a big submarine sandwich bun.) Pull out the soft bread in the center of both sides. Both halves should look like a shallow bowl. Spray the insides with cooking spray.
- 3. In a microwave soft bowl place the 3 cloves of minced garlic and the onions. Micro until the onions and garlic are soft.
- 4. In a larger bowl add the diced or shredded chicken, the red and black peppers, italian parsley, the softed onions and garlic. Stir in the mushrooms and/ or black olives if using. Add both cheeses.
- 5. Add about half of the jar of alfredo sauce. Mix well. At this point look at the mixture and add more sauce as needed to have the mixture hold together. It should be spoonable, not too sloppy or soupy. This is a sandwich filling and you want it to hold together rather than ending up in your lap. ;-) I usually use under 2/3 of the jar total.
- 6. Center the bottom half of the hollowed french loaf on the sprayed foil. Spoon the filling end to end. Place the top on it. Spray the top of the finished loaf.
- 7. Wrap the stuffed bread with Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until heated through. (For crisper bread, bake uncovered for the last 5 minutes.)
- 8. Unwrap the loaf carefully. Let sit at least 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Serve and enjoy!
