CHICKEN STUFFED MANICOTTI

1 1/2 c. chopped cooked chicken or turkey
1 c. sm. curd cottage cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. minced onion
2 tbsp. minced parsley
1/4 tsp. Italian seasonings
1/4 c. bell pepper, chopped

Combine all these ingredients in bowl.

Cook 8 manicotti shells in water according to directions - only cook 6 minutes (cook in the broth the chicken cooked in). Remove shells from water or broth carefully with slotted spoon--drain well and pat dry with paper towel. Fill shells with the chicken mixture.

Melt butter in large heavy skillet. Stir in flour and cook, stirring 1 minute. Add milk and cook and stir until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Stir in cheese, salt and Worcestershire sauce.

Cook stirring over low heat until cheese melts. Do not allow to boil. Spoon 3/4 cup of cheese sauce in 9x13 dish and place manicotti shells which have been filled on top of the sauce; top with remaining cheese sauce, then top with bread crumbs.

BUTTERED CRUMBS:

2 tbsp. butter
1/8 tsp. paprika
1 c. soft bread crumbs (about 2 slices of fresh white bread, torn)

My husband and I LOVED this! I cooked my chicken in the crockpot in chicken broth for 6 hours, it was a little to mushy so next time I will cook it on a higher heat for less time. Other than the chicken texture the meal was amazing. We will be cooking this again
