Chicken Mannelloni Canacotti

For the six meals this is what I did:
 
boiled and shredded 10 large chicken breasts - they were really big chicken breasts- set aside
marinara sauce - make it yourself or buy some store stuff.  I made my sauce.

Filling:

In food processer or mixer combine:
3 -  24oz cottage cheese
2 - 8 oz cream cheese
1 normal size parmigiana romano cheese (the green bottle)
3 boxes frozen chopped spinach - thaw and squeeze out excess water
some oregano


To assemble:
Place some sauce in bottom of pan.  Take no boil lasagna noodles and boil for 1 minute.  You want them to just be pliable.  Spread some filling on the noodle, put chicken on top of filling, roll up noodle and place seam side down in pan.  Continue until pan is full.  Cover with sauce and foil and bake at 350* for about an hour. 

Hints:
I found that boiling a few noodles at a time and working with those while another few boiled worked pretty good.  You could also mix the chicken in with the filling, I just didn't have a big enough bowl to do that.  


For the meals I gave you, you need to add more sauce to the top and cook with foil on top.  This was great with a green salad and french bread.  Enjoy!
