Hi gang,

I have used the left over Smoked chicken from my chicken practice to make Smoked Chicken Manicotti.

Here's the recipe ( It's pretty much a small recipe )

1 Cup of Marscapone Cheese.
1 cup of Ricotta Cheese.
3 oz Room temp Cream cheese cubed.
4 Smoked chicken thighs.
1, egg beaten.
1/4 cup of fresh chives "first half 1/4th cup for the filling right before you start filling the manicotti. )

Ok First pull the meat off the chicken, place it in the food proc.

2, Pulse the chicken until it look like bacon bits.

4, Get a big bowl. Empty the chicken in to the bowl set aside.

4, Take all your cheeses & the egg, Toss them in the food proc.

5, Pulse Until smooth and well blended.

6, Now add the ground chicken about a cup will do, You may want to add more if you are a chicken lover.

7, Pulse Again until the chicken is well blended.

8, Transfer to a bowl set in the fridge until needed.

Pretty good idea for use of the chicken, not sure I would have ground it up so much, bigger chunks but don't know the size of the shells you are stuffing it into.
Good work.

Thank you Scott,

This way I will not waste left over bbq :)

Anyway here is a small update,

Now I will not hand out my tomato sauce recipe since it's the base sauce ( House sauce ) for all my tomato based sauces.

here we have a onion, shallot, 2 garlic cloves.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZWw3kUWI/AAAAAAAAFDw/7wNgqQx97cw/DSC03028.JPG

Chopp the garlic.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZXMBVJrI/AAAAAAAAFD0/NtT5gdnSnro/DSC03029.JPG

Saute the onion, garlic cloves, shallot.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZXWIl85I/AAAAAAAAFD4/tn0va-6Sfis/DSC03030.JPG

Add chicken stock, Hunts no salt tomato paste.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZYMFN65I/AAAAAAAAFD8/ALbFT4aXbW4/DSC03031.JPG

Mix well, Mix until you get the consistency just right for the Marinara sauce.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZYTYkoKI/AAAAAAAAFEA/sOvBYFANIM0/DSC03032.JPG

Blend until smooth.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZYl5s0bI/AAAAAAAAFEE/hmhKwH7ihwk/s512/DSC03033.JPG

Add the remaining ground chicken to the sauce.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYeZZN_wpnI/AAAAAAAAFEI/JTNey63i478/DSC03034.JPG

And it should look like this.

Hmmm,
I have a pot of chicken gizzards simmering in chicken stock. Took me about a minute to whip up.
Looks really good Derek!

Plated and ate. Nothing left over, I do have one bad comment about the dish. I didn't cover the pasta well and the ends were a little hard, otherwise AWESOME DISH.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_p1VjWUS4xKQ/TYfUKnxtspI/AAAAAAAAFE4/QM923IMzNo8/DSC03042.JPG

I'll make the dish again but this next I'll over sauce it a bit so the ends will not be hard.

Sorry Derek, have to say that was not one of your huge post. Never blow up a recipe claiming 5 star in case you make it for the folks and it is a 2. Always best to say it was good. Everybody on this site can make something from nothing and make a 5 star dish. Ask Geoff we have a bunch of box elder bugs and he made the best lasagna ever.

If you have nothing nice to say"? then don't say nothing AT all, What didn't you're mother teach you some manners?

If I want to claim it a 5 star dish because it tasted like a 5 star dish I can.

So back off dude.

If he wanted to give a negative comment he could have said this,

Well I don't like your dish for one of 2 thing's and I would have not giving it 5 stars.
