What You Need

slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped

whole chicken (3 lb.), cut up

jar (16 oz.) green salsa

can (10.5 oz.) chicken broth

1/2

lb. fresh corn masa dough

1/2

cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/4

cup chopped cilantro

Make It

COOK bacon in 6-qt. stockpot on medium heat 5 to 8 min. or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from pan; drain on paper towels. Remove drippings from pan, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings for later use.

ADD chicken, in batches; cook 3 min. on each side or until browned on both sides. Return all chicken to pan. Stir in salsa and broth. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 15 min. Meanwhile, mix masa dough, cheese and reserved bacon drippings; shape into 18 balls, using about 1 Tbsp. of the dough for each.

ADD dough balls to chicken mixture; cook 5 to 8 min. or until dumplings and chicken are done (165ºF). Remove from heat. Stir in bacon and cilantro.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve with a crisp mixed green salad tossed with your favorite KRAFT Light Dressing to round out the meal.

Substitute

Dry corn masa is a great substitute for the fresh masa in this tasty recipe. Just mix 3/4 cup dry masa with enough water (about 1/2 cup) to make soft dough.

Special Extra

Stir in 2 cups cooked green beans with the dough balls.
