8. 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted (10.75oz)
9. 1 cup salsa
10. 2/3 cup milk

Instructions to make to make Not Really Mexican, Chicken Manicotti

1. Preheat oven to 350*
2. Go ahead and cook your manicotti, but only just to al dente (7 mins is what I prefer)
3. Gather ingredients for the chicken mixture: cheese, sour cream, chilies, onion, and chicken.
4. Drain chicken well and separate with a fork or your fingers.
5. In a large bowl mix 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, sour cream, chilies and half the diced onion if you are using it into the chicken.
6. Gather ingredients for a second mixture: soup, salsa, milk, and remaining diced onion.
7. Mix it all up with a fork.
8. Spread 3/4 C of the salsa mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish

12. As you fill the manicotti, add them to your baking dish until you are packed in. (I can usually fit all but one- don't squeeze them in or they will be impossible to get out when done)
13. Top with remaining salsa mixture.
14. Cover with foil and bake at 350* for 30 mins
15. Remove the foil and now add the rest of your cheeses (1/2 C of cheddar and 1/2 C of monterey jack) and bake for another 10 mins or until cheese is melted (or browned like a real person eats it)
16. This is the beauty of the entire pan.
