Cook's Notes

Cook Once, Eat Twice Cook 4 additional small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.) in additional 2 Tbsp. KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing on medium heat 5 min. on each side or until chicken is done (165ºF). Refrigerate for later use in making Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie. Substitute Substitute 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs for the chicken breasts. Cook on medium-high heat 4 min. on each side or until evenly browned. Continue as directed. How to Toast Nuts in Skillet When a skillet dish calls for toasted nuts, there's no need to heat up the oven. Before beginning the recipe, simply toast the nuts for a few minutes in the ungreased skillet on medium heat, stirring frequently just until nuts are lightly browned. Remove nuts from skillet and continue recipe as directed.
