Farmhouse Chicken
(Great flavor!)

Prep Time:
15 minTotal Time:
45 minMakes:
4 servings

1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 small bone-in chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), skin removed**( I used de-boned chicken breasts)
1/4 cup KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Reduced Fat Dressing
2 cups baby carrots
1 onion, cut into wedges
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese, cubed**(I used 8 oz)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
MIX flour and pepper in shallow dish. Add chicken; turn to evenly coat both sides of each piece with flour mixture. Gently shake off excess flour mixture; set aside. 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; 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 (165°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.*** (I used 8 oz. of cream cheese)

Kraft Kitchens Tips
Makeover SavingsWe'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 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!SubstituteSubstitute 8 bone-in chicken thighs with skin removed for the chicken breasts. Prepare as directed, cooking until chicken is cooked though (165°F).
