what you need

bone-in chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.)

1/2

cup KRAFT Classic Caesar Dressing, divided

1-1/2

lb. Idaho potatoes (about 3 medium), cut into thin wedges

large red pepper, cut into strips

1/2

cup frozen peas

1/4

cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

Make It

PLACE chicken in large resealable plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup of the dressing; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat chicken with dressing. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Mix potatoes and peppers in 13x9-inch baking dish. Add remaining 1/4 cup dressing; toss to coat. Remove chicken from bag; discard bag and marinade. Place chicken on top of vegetables; cover tightly with foil.

BAKE 30 min. Remove and discard foil. Top chicken mixture with peas; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. of the cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through (180ºF). Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. cheese before serving.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Jazz It Up

Prepare as directed, adding 1 Tbsp. lemon juice to both the 1/4 cup dressing used as marinade and the remaining 1/4 cup dressing. In addition, sprinkle ingredients in baking dish with 1 minced garlic clove and 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves before initial 30-min. baking time.

Variation - Using Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves

Boneless skinless chicken breast halves cook more quickly than bone-in chicken breasts. If preparing recipe with boneless breast halves, marinate chicken in 1/4 cup of the dressing as directed. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400ºF. Toss potatoes and peppers with remaining 1/4 cup dressing in baking dish; cover with foil. Bake 30 min. Discard foil. Remove chicken from marinade; discard bag and marinade. Place chicken on top of vegetables. Top with peas; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. of the cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through (170ºF). Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. cheese before serving.

Storage Tips for Potatoes

The best way to store potatoes is in a ventilated container in a dry dark place. Avoid storing potatoes with onions since the potatoes readily absorb odors.

I thought this was very good! I added a bit more caesar dressing than the recipe called for which made it saucy, as well as used red potatoes instead - turned out great! I also think that I will try something different with the chicken next time.

The veggies weren't too bad, but the chicken really needed something more. If I make this again, i will try the additionally suggested lemon juice and garlic.

I made this dish last night. It was good for the most part but I found that some of the potatoes were a little bland. I think the recipe needs just a bit more of the dressing on the potatos and peppers. Also, I added some garlic salt to the veggies and omitted the peas. Overall it was very good.

This was great and everyone loved it, even my husband that thinks that chicken is only good if its fried. We now have a family fav.

Very yummy...I used boneless skinless chicken. I also used more veggies than just pepers and potatoes. I added squash and red onion - would have used peas but did not have any. Out of ceaser dressing - used greek venegrete for chicken and balsamic venegrete for veggies (both Kraft dressing and lite). Served with a salad and fresh asperigus. Will make again - YUM!!!

I thought this was a very good, easy meal! I wasn't completely thrilled with the way the peas turned out in the meal, I may try to use something other than peas next time. But it tasted great & my family will be eating this again sometime!

This was very bland, no flavor to it at all. The potatoes came out a little overdone. I will not be making this receipe again.

This was a delicious meal. I cooked my meal at 425 degrees .. the potatoes were perfect and the peppers were soo tasty.. I added 2 cloves of fresh garlic to the recipe.. Just remember not to cut the potato too thick and I did not add the peas, instead cooked them on the side.. definitely a keeper
