MEANWHILE, cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package; drain and set aside. Add sauce to saucepan; cook on medium-low heat 5 to 6 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Reserve 3/4 cup sauce. Add pasta to remaining sauce; mix lightly.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra
For a golden appearance, after chicken is cooked through set oven to Broil. Place pan of chicken 6 inches from heat source. Broil 2 to 4 min. or until chicken is golden brown.
Keeping it Safe
Place frozen chicken under cold running water to thaw. Be sure to use cold water and keep the chicken in its original wrap or place in water-tight resealable plastic bag while thawing it. Also, be careful not to cross-contaminate other food products, work surfaces or utensils with the dripping water.
