Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute milk for the water.

Cuban Chicken & Rice Dinner

Omit chipotle peppers and VELVEETA®. Prepare as directed, cooking 3 minced cloves of garlic in hot oil along with the chicken. Add 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves and 1 drained and chopped jar (5 oz.) stuffed green olives (about 1 cup) along with the bouillon and water.

My local grocery store did not sell Velveeta, so I substituted sharp cheddar. Velveeta would have melted more uniformly and had a smoother texture in the rise, but overall it was delicious! Definitely something a little different to do with chicken!

We really liked this recipe but boy, was it hot! We chose not to give it to our young sons. And we really like spicy foods! We'll definitely make this again and may add green peppers and onions next time. Yummy!

be careful with the chipotles - they can get really hot really quick! Great recipe - easy and tasty and not the usual dinner.

Hot Hot Hot. Keep the Chipotles to a minimum if you don't like spicy. Very very good. Figting over the leftovers good!
