Farmhouse Chicken Dinner
Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 45 min
Makes: 4 servings
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 small bone-in chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), skin removed
1/4 cup KRAFT LIGHT DONE RIGHT! Zesty Italian Reduced Fat Dressing
2 cups baby carrots
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 cups MINUTE Brown Rice, uncooked
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
MIX flour and pepper in shallow dish. Add chicken; turn to evenly coat both sides with flour mixture. Shake off excess flour mixture. Heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add chicken, meat-side down; cook 5 to 6 min. or until golden brown. Turn chicken over; add carrots, onions and 1 cup of the broth. Cover. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 20 min. or until carrots are tender and chicken is cooked through (180°F).
MEANWHILE, cook rice as directed on package. Spoon onto serving platter. Use slotted spoon to remove chicken and vegetables from skillet; place over rice. Cover to keep warm.
ADD Neufchatel cheese and remaining broth to skillet; increase heat to high. Cook until cheese is melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 3 to 5 min. or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Spoon over chicken and vegetables; sprinkle with parsley.
KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS
Substitute
Substitute bone-in chicken thighs with skin removed for the chicken breasts. Prepare as directed, cooking until chicken is cooked though (180°F).
Makeover Savings
We've taken a family favorite and made a few changes to it that will save fat and calories. We browned the chicken in KRAFT LIGHT DONE RIGHT! Zesty Italian Reduced Fat Dressing instead of oil, used PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese instead of whipping cream and didn't dip the chicken in eggs before coating in flour. All these changes will save you 50 calories and 19 g of fat per serving!
NUTRITION INFORMATION

The carrots in this low-calorie, low-fat meal provide your family with an excellent source of vitamin A.
