Kraft Kitchens Tips

Keeping it Safe

Cutting boneless skinless chicken breasts into pieces can be a slippery task. Make it safer and prevent the knife from slipping by cutting the chicken while it is partially frozen. The firmer chicken is much easier to cut and handle.

Food Facts

Pasta is available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and forms. Most purchased pasta is dry, but refrigerated (fresh) and frozen pasta are increasingly more available. For dry pasta, look for few broken pieces and even coloring. For fresh and frozen pasta, look for even coloring, no dry spots and properly formed shapes (no spillage of filled pastas). Fresh and frozen pasta will carry a "best buy" date on the package.

Fantastic recipe! The sauce was outstanding. It has a little bit of a kick. I'd say if you don't want so much kick cut down the amount of red pepper flakes but it wasn't overly "hot". Also we forgot to get pea pods so I used regular frozen peas I had and still turned out fantastic. Would definitely make again!

This was my second time making it and I absolutely love it! I used regular peas this last time since I didn't have sugar snap peas, but it was still so good! I might try adding some more veggies the next time I make it. Everyone at work was jealous at lunch when I was heating it up to have for lunch, so the recipe got sent out right away!

AWESOME! This dish was easy, unique and it wowed everyone who ate it. I used as a recipe for a cooking class I teach and the class wanted to cook it again. Followed it the T, no changes.

This recipe wasn't bad, but it was a strange combination of flavors. The Italian dressing overpowered the Thai flavors, making the final product kind of confusing! The chicken was moist and tender, but flavor just didn't complement the peanut butter and soy sauce.

This is awesome! My hubby loved it. I didn't have snap peas, so I used nappa cabbage and thinly sliced carrots. The peanut sauce is so fantastic. I would make just this sauce again and use it for satay or fried chicken bites. I added extra red pepper flakes for more heat. Will make this one again!!

Will never make this again. It tasted so bad, that we took one bite, threw it in the garbage and went out to eat.

My husband and I loved this recipe. The only changes I made were to add bell pepper, onion and garlic. The sauce was delicious. Will definitely be making this again.
