Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Save 50 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving by preparing with KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Dressing and KRAFT Natural 2% Milk Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese Crumbles.

Shortcut

Substitute 2 pkg. (6 oz. each) OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Grilled Chicken Strips for the cut-up grilled marinated chicken.

How to Blanch Fresh Vegetables

Add the vegetables to a large pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 2 to 3 min. or until crisp-tender. Drain, then immediately plunge the vegetables into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When completely cool, drain and pat dry.
