1 jar (26 to 30 ounces) tomato pasta sauce (any variety)
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
14 uncooked manicotti shells (8 ounces)

Insert chicken into uncooked manicotti shells, stuffing from each end of shell to fill if necessary. Place shells on pasta sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining pasta sauce evenly over shells, covering completely. Cover with aluminum foil and bake about 1 hour or until shells are tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil.
