How to Toast Nuts in Skillet

When a skillet dish calls for toasted nuts, there's no need to heat up the oven. Before beginning the recipe, simply toast the nuts for a few minutes in the ungreased skillet on medium heat, stirring frequently just until nuts are lightly browned. Remove nuts from skillet and continue recipe as directed.

very good. I would also say healthy. I added some fresh mushrooms. I also used wheat pasta.

This is an awesome very simple quick dinner to make. Very yummy and creamy. As with almost every kraft recipe they don't tell you to season the chicken but I always do. I used garlic pepper grinder. I also added more red pepper. Everyone loves it, and no leftovers.

It was so easy and so delicious. I had added a little more spnach and red bell pepper to the recipe. Next time I will also be adding fresh parmesan cheese to it. It was so good my that my 1 year old nephew ate all of his and was looking for more.

This meal was DELICIOUS! The recipe called for only 1 lb of chicken, but I used 1.3 lbs for a little extra meat. I also used 1 cup of red bell pepper instead of the 1/2 cup they recommended. The recipe is so simple! I will definitely be making this again in the future!!

5 STARS FOLKS! OMG this was soooo good! I made it for me, my mom & grandma and my picking eater son. Needless to say grandma had 2 plates (she typically eats like a bird) I was blown away that my 90 yr old grandma had two good size plates! YUMMY! I used wheat penne (this was the first for everyone else trying wheat pasta for the first time), and I added baby bella mushrooms and fresh grated parmesan to this plus I over did it on the spinach too (we love spinach). I took home a "take & bake" wheat bread home to serve with it too. YOU HAVE TO TRY THISSSS! guarantee you will love love love love it too! Now go now, run to your nearest grocery store and make this for dinner TONIGHT, I am telling you you WILL NOT BE SORRY! I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as I do. If you don't enjoy it, sorry!
