Farmhouse Chicken

I had found this recipe from the Kraft website a week or 2 ago and finally decided to cook it last night....for our 5 year anniversary!!! No, we haven't been married that long, just been together 5 years. It was pretty simple to make, it just look a while.

This is the pic I got while it was cooking. I forgot to take one after it was finished & plated.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp. pepper

4 small bone-in chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), skin removed

1/4 cup KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Dressing

2 cups baby carrots

1 onion, cut into wedges

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided

2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, cubed

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Mix flour and pepper in shallow dish. Add chicken; turn to coat both sides of each piece. Gently shake off excess flour. Heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add chicken, meat-sides down; cook 5 to 6 min. or until golden brown. Turn chicken. Add carrots, onions and 1 cup broth; cover. Simmer on medium-low 20 min. or until chicken is done (165°F).

2. Meanwhile, cook rice as directed on package; spoon onto platter. Use slotted spoon to remove chicken and vegetables from skillet; place over rice. Cover to keep warm.
3. Add Neufchatel and remaining broth to skillet; cook on high heat until Neufchatel is melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly. Simmer on medium-low heat 3 to 5 min. or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Spoon over chicken and vegetables; top with parsley
