Directions
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken (uncooked), refried beans and 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterrey pepper jack cheese and taco seasoning until well blended.
Fill uncooked manicotti shells with meat mixture using a butter knife or by gently pressing shell into the meat until the shell fills. Pour 1/4 of the green enchilada sauce into the bottom of a large baking dish. Lay shells in single layer on top of enchilada sauce. Pour remaining sauce over manicotti shells. Add 1 cup warm water around the edges of dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and top with more cheese if you like and return to oven until cheese melts. Top with sour cream, sliced black olives and salsa verde. Enjoy!

Wonderful suggestion! I can't recall the number of times I prepared Manicotti with ground Italian sausage, spinach, cheese, etc, as a homemaker. Now living as a single at sixty-five, I'm anxious to give this a go, not only as an excellent main course, but with two meals for freezing!

Can anyone share what brands of enchilada sauce they use (in this recipe & in general)? I am having terrible luck finding a canned one that isn't gross. I live in an area with a distinct lack of decent Mexican food. I miss the S.W. for that.
A little off topic, but I'm also looking for a good hot sauce (red or green) like they serve at taco trucks. Man, I miss Filiberto's...

I think the Las Palmas brand is the closest to being authentic. They have both the green and the red sauce and comes in mild, medium or hot. Either that or you can make it. It's really easy. Use tomatillos and either jalepenos or serrano chilies and of course fresh garlic and seasonings. I can't wait to try your Manicotti recipe. Thanks Laura!
