What You Need

lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces

slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, crumbled

can (14-1/2 oz.) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, cubed

1/2

cup water

1/4

tsp. pepper

Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

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.

DRAIN pasta; place in large bowl. Add sauce; mix lightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

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.

The flavor of this recipe was good, but it wasn't healthy enough in my opinion, to be in the healthy section.

Very tasty! My husband thought it was similar to a pasta dish he enjoys at a local Italian restaurant. I added a little extra cheese and eliminated the water. I can't tell you about leftovers... hubby got to them before I could! Since he generally ignores leftovers, I'll take that as a sign that he enjoyed it!

It was good to my family, not great. May make again with a few variations.

I thought this was great. I didnt put any water in it as it was juicy enough, however when reheating it I added it as needed. Even my picky teenager and husband loved it.

This is so good! Leftovers were delicious too - didn't change a thing.

Tasted pretty good, sauce was a little to thin though to be considered creamy.

My whole family LOVED this recipe. The bacon was a nice touch. I think I will use more next time. Decreasing the water was a good tip.

Great taste. Our whole family loved it (even the picky ones). It wasn't bland at all as some people have said. I could see how it may be bland if you don't use the Italian-Style tomatoes but with them and the bacon, it is very yummy.
