SUPER EASY CHICKEN MANICOTTI

Ingredients:
1 Jar (26-30 oz.) tomato pasta sauce
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic salt
14 uncooked chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
14 uncooked manicotti pasta shells (one 8 oz. box)
Chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions:
Heat oven to 350. Mix pasta sauce and water. Spread about 1/3 of the sauce
in an ungreased 13x9 inch glass baking dish.

Sprinkle garlic salt on chicken. Insert into uncooked manicotti shells, stuffing from each end of shell to fill if necessary. Place shells on pasta sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce evenly over shells, covering completely. Cover tightly with foil.

Bake about 1 hour or until shells are tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil.

Darlene's Notes: What I might do next time is to put the basil in the sauce and cook for the entire time and I would also do the same with some fresh garlic. I might also add some onions and green pepper to the sauce.
