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:

Chicken enchilads
I would make asian chicken with the asian taco sauces!
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.

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!

The BBQ roast would be easier than a typical roast or bbq roast where the bbq sauce burns.
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!

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!!
I’d make chicken lettuce wraps!

I would try to make a taco soup for the fall!
I’d love to make a quicker version of sweet and sour chicken.
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.
I would use the texmex sauce because I love all mexican food and it would really spice up anything! quesadillas, fajitas, enchiladas, soups, burritos!
Definitely Verde Chicken Enchilada.
love to try the new kraft products! look so tasty!
I would use texmex sauce to make enchiladas with lots and lots of cheese. Wonderful dinner!

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!

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!
