What You Need

cups instant white rice, uncooked

cups warm water

small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), 1/2 inch thick

can (13-3/4 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained, quartered

large tomatoes, chopped

1/2

cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

1/4

cup pesto

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

MIX rice and water; spoon onto centers of 6 large sheets heavy-duty foil. Top with chicken, artichokes and tomatoes; drizzle with combined dressing and pesto.

BRING up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15x10x1-inch pan.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). Remove packets from oven; let stand 5 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How

If the chicken breast halves in your market are larger than 4 oz., they will take longer to cook. Be sure to cook them long enough so that they are no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear.

How to Safely Handle Raw Chicken

Always wash hands, preparation surfaces and utensils in hot, soapy water before and after contact with raw chicken. Dry hands and surfaces with a clean towel or paper towels. Take special care in washing worn cutting boards as there may be hard-to-clean grooves or cracks that can collect bacteria.

Delicious and very easy. I didn't have Italian dressing, so I used Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette and it worked just fine. My husband loved it.

Great Recipe, not enough artichokes for me, will add more next time. I used a little more dressing, stewd tomatoes and had to add salt to get the flavor just right. But hands down, it will be a keeper in my recipe box.

My husband loved it! It's no surprise, though, since he's in LOVE with artichokes!

Awesome flavors! I seared the chicken on the grill with salt and pepper before packing it and would do it again. Next time, add some capers? Make sure the chicken is not too thick.

GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! Tweaked it a little. First I forgot to buy the dressing, so I used what I had left of Kraft Caesar Vinaigrette and added some water and extra pesto (yum!) I used chicken tenders and it was perfect w/3 tenders. I flavored the rice with Salt and a little of the dressing mixture. And that fixed the Rice Problem! We were excited to do a different foil-pack dinner when we camping, there was a Burn Ban in Effect! So we had to use the gas grill so the rice burned a little on the bottom. Anyway my husband and son didn't even know what an artichoke was, and they have been asking when I will make this again! I have so many ideas for these ingredients-a casserole, Stove top, crock pot or who knows!? My husband asked when I make it again to add garlic cloves. One last thing, since I didnt have the Zesty Italian and had to use the Caesar Vinaigrette, I am not sure which I will use when I make it again. GREAT! Worth Trying!!!!
