Foil-Packed Chicken & Artichoke Dinner
- 3 cups instant rice, uncooked
- 3 cups warm water
- 6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves, 1/2-inch thick (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained, quartered
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
- 1/4 cup pesto sauce
- Heat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Mix rice and water; spoon onto centers of 6 large sheets heavy-duty foil. Top with chicken, artichokes and tomatoes; drizzle with combined dressing and pesto.
- Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15x10x1-inch pan.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is done (165u0b0F). Remove packets from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Cut slits in foil with sharp knife to release steam before opening.
- KITCHEN TIPS:
- Cooking Know-How: If the chicken breast halves in your market are larger than 4 ounces, they will take longer to cook. Be sure to cook them long enough so that they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
- How To Safely Handle Raw Chicken:
- Always wash hands, preparation surfaces and utensils in hot, soapy water before and after contact with raw chicken. Dry hands and surfaces with a clean towel or paper towels. Take special care in washing worn cutting boards as there may be hard-to-clean grooves or cracks that can collect bacteria.
