Kraft Kitchen Tips!

Keeping it Safe

Cutting raw boneless chicken breasts into pieces is a slippery task. Make it safer and prevent the knife from slipping by cutting the chicken while it is partially frozen.

Nutrition Bonus

Enjoy our contemporary twist on a traditional pasta bake. As a bonus the spinach is an excellent source of vitamin A!
