Our family of five enjoys trying different ethnic cuisines. This Italian specialty has a little Mexican zip. Be careful not to overcook the manicotti. If the filled shells happen to break, just place them in the pan seam-side down.

Loved this. I was lazy and didn't want to cook noodles so I used tortillas and made regular chicken enchiladas. This now replaces a previous recipe as my standard chicken enchilada recipe. I did use the suggestion of aeg2t and used salsa verde in the sauce and loved it.

My husband LOVES this dish and he is very picky. However, I don't bother stuffing the manicotti, I use lasagna sheets instead. I layer the two mixtures as if I was making lasagna. Far less hassle and extremely tasty!

This received rave reviews from my bunch of men! We even used the same filling in flour tortillas, excellent addition to our recipe box!

This was so good and easy to make. I used 2 cans of the chopped green chilies. I used 1 can each of the bowl mixtures. My husband liked this as well and he took some to work and gave to a co-worker. He liked it as well. Thanks for a great recipe!

EXCELLENT recipe. Only changes I made were not combining the salsa with the other ingredients, but serving it with the dish to accommodate a preference to not have the salsa baked. Also used a Chipotle Chicken Marinade and grilled the chicken rather than plain cubed cooked chicken. Everyone loved it!

This is the absolute worst recipe I've ever tried! It has no substance and the flavor is overwhelmed by the sour cream in it. My husband took one bite and refused to eat anymore of it. I gave it one star because the rating doesn't allow no stars.

This recipe is very yummy! I used less than half the cheese that is called for though. It was still very creamy and cheesy. I also used salsa verde, which was perfect with the chicken!
