Lately, there have been a wide variety of new “meal starters” on grocery store shelves. Typically in the form of a sauce, these new products make dinnertime easier by providing mealtime inspiration & bringing delicious flavors that so far, have all been new to me.
I love Kraft & use TONS of their products, so I was really excited when they came out with the new Recipe Makers! Recipes Makers are a combination of two savory sauces that you can add your fresh ingredients to & then either cook in a slow cooker or skillet or in the oven. They’re currently available in seven varieties & you can pick them up at your local Safeway affiliate {ours is Vons}. In my store, it was just off to the side of the meat department, but you may also find it in the meal starters section.
I recently put one of the Recipe Makers- the Tex-Mex Chicken Fajita- to the test & absolutely loved using it! It was so simple to use. Since it was my first time using it, I followed the provided recipe instead of coming up with my own. {The recipe is below, but also on the back of the box!}
Tex-Mex Chicken Fajita Skillet {By Kraft}
Ingredients:
-1-1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
-1 pkg. (14.6 oz.) KRAFT RECIPE MAKERS Tex-Mex Fajita Skillet
-1 red onion, slivered
-1 green pepper, cut into strips
-1-1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
-1 cup water
-1 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese
Directions:
-Cook and stir chicken in half the Simmer Sauce in large skillet until done.
-Add vegetables and remaining Simmer Sauce; cook and stir 2 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
-Stir in rice and water; bring to boil.
-Stir in salsa; sprinkle with cheese. Remove from heat; cover. Let stand 5 mins.
I would have never thought to put some of these ingredients together in the same skillet {white rice in a skillet with peppers, onions & chicken?} but I’m so glad I tried their recipe because it was delicious! The sauces were amazing & had just the right amount of kick to them. Justin had seconds & even said he would have had thirds but he was just too stuffed. We ate it as-is this time, but I think next time we’ll be enjoying it in tortillas, just for some extra yum. &We’ll definitely be trying more varieties!
