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.

FABULOUS! The chicken was so tender and the flavor was amazing. My picky 2 year old and 4 year old even gobbled it up!

These are delicious. The only thing I would change, not that there's anything wrong with them, is to add roasted red peppers next time.

This was good and so easy to make. My husband was very impressed! It was very flavorful, so be prepared! We just moved in to a new house and all I had to cook with was my toaster oven and rice cooker. I made my regular rice in the rice cooker rather than bake instant rice with the chicken.

This was soooo easy and good! The chicken was very moist, I choose to marinate it for a couple hours with lots of pesto and the italian dressing. Would defiantly make this again!

Great recipe. Quick, easy and delicious. The chicken is very tender, add any of your favorite veggies as a variation. I've also made it with sweet and sour, peppers and pineapple. Very tasty!

We loved this recipe. The flavors were great. Due to not having instant rice, I did precook the rice a bit. I also cooked it in chicken broth rather than water, which I think enhanced the flavors.
