Ingredients

 Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 lb Manicotti
1 tsp Olive oil
1 cup Chopped onions
1 cup Plum tomatoes, chopped
1 cup Chopped green pepper
2 cloves Garlic, minced
3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
6 ounces Reduced-fat Mozzarella cheese
1 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese
1 Egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Black pepper
3 cups Low-sodium, fat-free marinara sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. Cook manicotti 9 minutes according to package directions; rinse with cold water and drain.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, tomato, green pepper and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring often, or until vegetables are softened.

In a large bow, mix vegetable, chicken, Mozzarella, Ricotta, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, salt and pepper until mixed. Using a small spoon, fill each manicotti with about 1/2 cup mixture.

Pour 1/2 of the marinara sauce into prepared baking pan. Arrange filled manicotti over sauce and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until manicotti is heated through and sauce is bubbling.
