Kraft Kitchens Tips

Use Your Microwave

Combine green peppers, onions, garlic, curry powder and butter in 1-1/2-qt. microwaveable casserole; cover. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add chicken; cover. Microwave 6 min. or until chicken is no longer pink, stirring after 3 min. Stir in tomatoes, lemon juice, thyme and black pepper. Microwave, covered, 2 min. or until chicken is done. Add VELVEETA. Microwave, covered, 1 min. or until VELVEETA is completely melted when stirred.

Shortcut

Substitute 2 pkg. (6 oz. each) OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Cuts for the cooked fresh chicken. Add to ingredients in skillet along with the VELVEETA.

Keeping it Safe

When thawing frozen chicken, place in refrigerator, allowing about 5 hours per pound of chicken. Never thaw chicken at room temperature due to the risk of bacterial growth.

This recipe was very easy and it was good but i thought it might have a bit more curry taste. We couldnt taste the curry powder at all. I will probably make this again but not anytime soon. Its nice when we want to have something different.

My husband and I really did like this. I used the frozen chicken tenders and petite cut diced tomatoes, which made it very easy to prepare. I also used sour cream instead of cheese, and I served it over brown rice. Very good! I will definitely prepare it the same way again.

My family and I loved this recipe. I did not have chicken at the time, so I cooked meat instead. I can imagine that chicken would taste even better, but 1" strips of steak worked just as well. For extra curry sauce I added a 1/2 cup of milk.
