What You Need

1-3/4
cups warm water
2
cups instant brown rice, uncooked
4
small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
1/4
cup KRAFT Lite Ranch Dressing
1-1/2
tsp. chili powder
1/2
cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1
 red pepper, chopped
4
cups small broccoli florets (about 1 bunch)

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.
step 1
 COMBINE water and rice; let stand 5 min. Spoon onto centers of 4 large sheets heavy-duty foil;
step 2
 TOP with remaining ingredients.
step 3
 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 25 to 30 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening each packet.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How
To prevent rice from sticking to the foil, spray foil with cooking spray before using. Or, use nonstick foil.
Cooking Know-How
If the chicken breast halves in your market are larger than 1/4 lb. each, 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 (165°F).
Substitute
Substitute 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen corn, thawed, for the broccoli.
