What You Need

cups whole wheat farfalle (bow-tie pasta), uncooked

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.

This was a really quick and simple meal to make. We replaced the tomatoes with roasted red peppers and it gave the dish a whole new flavor. This was one of the favorites in my house and will be made again.

This was extremely quick and simple to make. I got mixed reviews from the family, but all in all everyone ate it without complaining, so I will make it again.

It was good but not fantastic which is hard to believe since it calls for bacon.

This was delicious, and I appreciate the comments about more bacon and garlic--very few things should be made w/o garlic!

Good, but I marinated the chicken for extra flavor.

It's great! Just make a few changes - add more bacon, less water, more spices like garlic, and I baked & shredded the chicken. After its all mixed, place in 8 inch square pan and bake in oven a few minutes. Delicious!!

No one in my home was really a fan of this recipe and I have to agree. There are probably some things I could do to improve it to my taste, but I think I'll pass on this one!
