Mexican manicotti

Another recipe from Julie - also a big hit!

1 pkg manicotti shells
2 C chicken (cooked and cubed)
2 C Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
1 ½ c cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 C sour cream1 small onion
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 C salsa
2/3 C milk

Cook manicotti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine chicken, 1½ cups of Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, half of the onion, and 6 Tbs chilies. In another bowl, combine the soup, salsa, milk, and remaining green chilies. Spread ½ cup of the second mixture in a greased 13x9 baking dish. Drain manicotti; stuff each with about ¼ cup of chicken mixture. Arrange over sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over the shells. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top. Bake another 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
