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.

Special Extra

Add 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves to cooked chicken in skillet along with the Neufchatel cheese.

Substitute

Bake in 2-qt. casserole instead of the square baking dish.
