Kraft Kitchens Tips

Storing Chicken

Packaged fresh chicken should be refrigerated in the coldest part of the refrigerator. Freeze uncooked chicken if it is not to be used within 2 days. If properly packaged, frozen chicken will maintain at top quality in a home freezer for up to 6 months.

Special Extra

Top with KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Four Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA.

Food Facts

Classic homestyle Mexican salsa de molcajete is made from roasted garlic and chiles pounded with a molcajete and mixed with roasted tomatoes. This updated version uses a blender. Vegetables were grilled instead of roasted for the sweet roasted flavor of garlic, tomatoes and raciness of roasted jalapenos. We stirred in fresh cilantro and instead of drizzling with vinegar, as in the classic, we stirred in KRAFT Zesty Italian dressing for extra flavor.
