What You Need

lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

cups water

pkg. (12 oz.) tri-color rotini pasta (about 5 cups), uncooked

cups broccoli florets

1/2

lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA®, cut up

tsp. each: dried basil leaves and black pepper

small tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups)

Make It

SPRAY large skillet with cooking spray. Add chicken; cook and stir on medium-high heat 4 min. or until chicken is no longer pink.

STIR in water. Bring to boil. Add pasta; cook 8 min. or until tender.

ADD broccoli, VELVEETA and seasonings; stir until well blended. Cook until VELVEETA is completely melted, stirring frequently. Stir in tomatoes.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute any other small shaped pasta for the rotini.

Make it Easy

Substitute 1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen vegetable blend for the broccoli, letting the kids choose their favorite variety to use in this one-pot dinner!

Easy Cleanup

Cooking the vegetables in the water with the pasta is a great time-saver since there is one less pan to wash!

Very easy for a beginner cook like myself. However, pepper taste was a little strong for my family so I did 3/4tsp. I also added more cheese. It was delicious!

This was very good. My whole family liked it. Will definately make this again. I also added fresh garlic into this recipe. I would also suggest maybe a half a tsp of pepper not a full tsp. It did seem to have a little too much pepper but it still tasted really good.

My boyfriend and I don't like veggies - but we gladly ate them in this recipe. The seasoning was perfect, as was the cheese. Very easy to make, and relatively inexpensive - our main two criteria for recipes!!

Very bland. I agree with dankydenise about the pot too. Make sure you have a LARGE skillet or even make this in a pot, as there are quite a few ingredients.

I used can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano do not drain. Use 2 3/4 cup chicken broth instead of water. I was out of broccoli so I used 1/2 of a bag of spinach. It was very good. Served with bread sticks.

My daughter and husband liked this meal and want me to make it again. I went light on the basil and added a tad bit more cheese for a cheesier flavor.

My family did not like this recipe. It was really easy to make, but wasn't very appealing to the eye, I guess. Doesn't hurt to try anything once.
