Kraft Kitchens Tips

Makeover - How We Did It

We made over an easy meal that will save you 120 calories and 9g of fat, including 4g of saturated fat, per serving by decreasing the amount of bacon and preparing the recipe with baked tortilla chips, KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream. And as a bonus, these easy-to-make changes didn't sacrifice the flavor of the original recipe.

Special Extra

Garnish each serving with 2 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro.

Substitute

Substitute 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes for the grape tomatoes, and reduce the tomato cooking time to 2 to 3 min. or until tomatoes begin to pop, stirring occasionally.

This was very easy to make and my kids loved it. Maybe a little guac would be good on it as well.

This was an easy, delicous meal. The chicken tasted great, and I really liked the rice and tomato side dish. I added chopped fresh parsley to my rice for more color and left out the bacon because I didnt have any on hand, but everybody liked it without anyway.

We made this last night and I was surprised at how easy it was and how much we all liked it - even my 5 year old! We didn't have rice on hand, so we just prepared the chicken part of the recipe and it, alone, was a hit!

My kids--age 12 dd and somewhat-picky 10 yo ds--LOVED it!! They were practically fighting over the last bite and the crumbs in the pan! Next time I will use a bit more tortilla bits and cheese cause the crunch was a nice addition to the wonderful flavor. The rice wasn't that great on its own, but if you ate it together with the chicken and sour cream it was all great. Easy and quick to fix, and only 8 weight watcher points! This one's a winner!
