Spread 1/2 c. spaghetti sauce in a greased 13” x 9” x 2” inch baking dish.
Drain manicotti well- stuff each with about 1/4 c. manicotti-chicken mixture. Arrange
over sauce in baking dish. Pour little sauce over shells. Add rest 2nd bowl of chicken
Manicotti mix spread lightly ñ add remaining spaghetti sauce

Cover bake 25 minutes. Uncover- sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top. Bake
10 minutes longer or until mozzarella cheese is melted.
