Kraft Recipe Makers: Italian Chicken + $100 Gift Card Giveaway!

Italian Chicken Kraft Recipe Makers

 

Last month, I introduced you to a new line of products you can find in the store called Kraft Recipe Makers. Using Kraft Recipe Makers, you combine two savory sauces supplied in the box with your own fresh ingredients to make a delicious weeknight dinner. Creating depths of flavor into a dish has never been this easy!

My first trial with Kraft Recipe Makers, I followed one of the recipes given on the box. This time, I wanted to create my own. I put Kraft Recipe Maker’s claim to the test with this Italian chicken recipe.

Although I haven’t shared my original recipe here on the blog yet, I have a favorite Italian chicken dish that a friend introduced to me when we lived in California a few years ago. I’ve made it at home quite a few times. This recipe incorporates layers of flavor by adding multiple ingredients in complex steps.

My goal was to try to revamp this recipe by using the two sauces in Kraft Recipe Makers “Chicken Cacciatore” box. Watch how it’s done with this video I made you:

What usually takes me at least 45 minutes to complete was done within 30 minutes instead. I say this was a winning outcome!

Keeping it simple, I floured chicken tenders and seared them. Removed them from the pan, cooked garlic and shallots, then added the simmer sauce to deglaze the pan. I then added the chicken back along with black olives and capers. Then, I cut open the package of cooking sauce and poured that in and let it all cook for about 15 minutes. While that was cooking, I boiled some pasta. And that’s it!

While it wasn’t the exact same taste as my original recipe that doesn’t use the Kraft Recipe Makers, it still was quite comparable and still very flavorful. I would make it again! Here’s the written recipe:

  16. I would love to use their kit to add to my pot roast. I do not usually add a lot of seasonings when I make a pot roast, because I do enjoy the taste of unadulterated beef. But a well seasoned pot roast is some of the best comfort food there is.

  25. Love your video! Why didn’t I even think of cooking the food? I just stood there and talked my head off like a lunatic. 😉

    Oh, and that picture? Stunning! Love it!

  32. I would use it to add some extra flavor to one of our favorite meals Enchiladas. They have a great recipe for 3 Cheese Chicken Enchiladas on their site!

  49. I would revamp Sweet & Sour Chicken with Kraft Recipe Makers! First, I could make it more often, because I don’t need to gather so many items that I just wouldn’t do it on a weeknight! Then I could just use the recipe maker and skinless breasts and a can of pineapple chunks, can of bean sprouts and water chestnuts, add cooked minute brown rice. Mmmm!!

  54. I would use the Tex Mex sauce for fajitas IF I could actually use these sauces. Unfortunately our oldest has allergies and our middle child has diet restrictions due to ingredients in many packaged items that have been known to contribute to seizures and seizure activity. All sauces, etc. have to be homemade to control the ingredients.

  55. I would use the texmex sauce because I love all mexican food and it would really spice up anything! quesadillas, fajitas, enchiladas, soups, burritos!

  65. I make a spinach enchilada recipe that my family loves. I think I would try the Kraft Verde Chicken Enchilada. It sounds delicious! In my recipe, we do not use chicken and the sauce is usually the traditional red sauce….so this would really revamp it!

  73. I love to make chicken & black bean enchiladas & I think adding the Verde Chicken Enchilada recipe maker would kick it up a few notches!

  80. I could use the Verde Chicken Enchilada! We love enchiladas but I’ve always wanted to try it with a green sauce

  98. I make an awesome dinner omelet,usually using any cooked meat and leftover veggies I have on hand, I wonder how the Kraft Recipe Makers “Chicken Cacciatore” would work for this, perhaps as a topping?

  104. We love beef stroganoff but it takes forever to make. How easy would it be to use the New England Pot Roast Sauce to make it! Thanks.

  130. I currently make my own sweet and sour chicken, so I would try simplifying what I do and just add my veggies and chicken to this mix.

  132. i would like trying their pot roast – it may have a bit of a different flavor from the way normally prepare it

    Reply

  134. I would like to try the Three Cheese Chicken Florentine and add my own chicken, onions, tomatoes and zucchini – I bet it would taste wonderful over noodles.

  141. Pot roast is a favorite meal for this family, so would probably try it first. Using this might put a little different spin on the flavors. Biggest problem would be the fact that their servings estimate is WAY too small for us!

  146. I’d revamp my pot roast recipe by using the New England Pot Roast sauces instead of my onion soup mix. I bet it would be more moist.

  153. My favorite recipe is chicken cacciatore. Instead of using pasta underneath it, I use Polenta. I add lots of extra mushrooms, too.

  168. I would revamp my normal weeknight Mexican casserole with the KRAFT RECIPE MAKERS Verde Chicken Enchiladas kit with the 2 sauces. This would be so much better.

    Reply

  169. I’d take the Sweet and Sour chicken kit – add some tomato sauce and brown sugar and use it for sweet and sour BBQ lamb ribs!

  170. I like to make casseroles – the lemon oregano sauce in the Chicken Cacciatore could also be used to grill greek chicken breasts sprinkled with feta. I’d use the other sauce on pasta, add zucchini or eggplant and bake the whole thing as a casserole.

  171. I’m pretty new to cooking and dont have a favorite recipe Id know how to revamp but I would love to try to make the Florentine-Stuffed Chicken Breasts recipe with their Three Cheese Florentine Recipe Maker…sounds yummy and I love how easy and quick all their recipes are! Talk about a great way to make a weeknight easier!

  175. I would try the chicken bruschetta pasta, but might include romano-encrusted chicken to the dish to add a different twist.

  191. Those look good. I’ll have to look for them the next time I go shopping. I would definitely try the asian chicken with the asian taco sauces. Thanks for having this contest.

  205. I would revamp it with chicken, broccoli, green peppers and onions with that sauce as the extra kick to spice it up
