Make It

COOK pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.

MEANWHILE, cook chicken in large skillet on medium heat 5 to 6 min. or until done, stirring occasionally. Add next 5 ingredients; mix well. Cook 3 min. or until Neufchatel is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Food Facts

Some cooks prefer to drain the pasta well to prevent excess water from diluting the sauce, while others like a little moisture to help prevent pasta from sticking together. In any case, reserve a few tablespoons of cooking water to add to pasta if it starts to stick together or if you want to dilute the sauce.

If I didn't know I made this, I would swear it came from a really good Italian restaurant. I added extra tomato & fresh baby spinach. It is so good! My husband had 2 servings. The bacon gives it a smokey, rustic flavor.

Great Recipe! However, we made some variations: we used regular cream cheese and italian style diced tomatoes (what we had on hand). Also, we thickened our sauce with a pinch of flour because it was a little too liquidy/runny. Next time we will double the recipe, Yummy!

This recipe was wonderful, my family loved it, even my picky 6 year old! I did not have Italian style diced tomatoes so I used regular diced and added Italian seasoning. I also added 3 cloves of garlic and marinated the chicken in Kraft Free Zesty Italian dressing. Yum!

The ingredients are right there! Instead of saying "ingredients" it says "make it". The list is complete (with amounts) of what you need. I think this sounds wonderful and plan on making it very soon.
