What You Need

1 Tbsp. Kraft Calorie-Wise Zesty Italian Dressing

8 bone-in skinless chicken thighs (1-1/2 lb./675 g)

1 can (19 fl oz/540 mL) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

2 small red peppers, chopped

1/3 cup tomato paste

3 cloves garlic, minced

220 g (2/3 of 340-g pkg.) whole wheat spaghetti, uncooked

1/2 cup Kraft Part Skim Mozzarella Shredded Cheese

1/4 cup Kraft 100% Parmesan Light Grated Cheese

Make It

HEAT dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 min. on each side or until each thigh is lightly browned on both sides.

COMBINE tomatoes, peppers, tomato paste and garlic; pour over chicken. Cover; simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until chicken is done (170°F), turning after 10 min. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti as directed on package, omitting salt.

REMOVE skillet from heat. Top chicken mixture with cheeses; cover. Let stand 5 min. or until mozzarella is melted.

DRAIN spaghetti; place on platter. Top with chicken and sauce.

kraft kitchens tips

Special Extra

Stir in 1/4 cup sliced black olives along with the peppers.

Food Facts

Since chicken thighs do not need long slow cooking times in order to tenderize them, they are more practical for quick weeknight dinners than other budget meat cuts.

Big hit with my family. I didn't have Italian style tomatoes, so I added my own herbs. Like a previous comment, instead of adding parmesan cheese I put it on the table instead. Also, I did not use the shredded mozzarella cheese at all. Taste great and even better the next day!!

I wasn't a big fan of it. It didn't have much taste.

This was pretty good. I omitted the red peppers as I thought the flavour would be enough without them, and I was right. I used balsamic instead and found the flavour was really full. I liked the tomato sauce alone with the spaghetti as well. Will make again.

I love this recipe! I use skinless/boneless chicken breasts (3) and add a little extra garlic and some italian spice. Always excellent! I usually serve the chicken/sauce without the cheese added, and put a bowl of grated cheese on the table for everyone to add their own desired amount.

This was good. I added some onions that I fried slightly. I didn't have the italian tomatoes so I added some oregano, garlic salt, basil and pepper. We enjoyed this.
