Kraft Sizzling Salads Review

Photobucket

I have been seeing these kits advertised for quite awhile now and thought they sounded so delicious, so needless to say, I was thrilled when Strategic Objectives sent me the Southwest Sizzling Salad Kit to try out. The kit is not a one time use kit either. Each kit makes up to 8 entree salads. The cooking sauce is Spicy Fajita and the dressing is Barbecue Ranch.

The first thing I will say is I LOVE THESE. I am embarrassed to say that when it comes to cooking I have no imagination whatsoever. My son refuses to touch mashed potatoes ever again, as that is all I would serve with dinners. Aren't you glad you don't live at my house? Kraft has allowed me to try something different with this product. Another bonus with these kits, oh, so easy and it is not time consuming.

All you need to do is cook your boneless skinless chicken breasts, add the sauce, and then whatever salad ingredients that you like. You will also find on the back of the box suggested salad ingredients.

Here is the recipe that I found on the Kraft website for this particular salad. This recipe makes 4 servings.

What You Need
1 lb. (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tsp. Oil
1/2 cup Kraft Sizzling Salads Spicy Fajita Cooking Sauce
8 cups torn iceberg lettuce
1 cup each red and green pepper strips
1 cup Frozen corn, thawed
1 cup canned no-salt-added black beans, rinsed
2 Green onions, sliced
1/2 cup Kraft Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese
1/2 cup Kraft Sizzling Salads Barbecue Ranch Dressing
Make It

COOK and stir chicken in hot oil in large skillet on medium-high heat 6 to 7 min. or until done.

ADD cooking sauce; cook and stir on low heat 30 sec. to 1 min. or until chicken is evenly coated.

COMBINE remaining ingredients; place on 4 plates. Top with chicken.

(My son also added nacho chips to the salad which tasted great)

Does it sound yummy?  Well, I can tell you it is.  My son is ecstatic that I have found something different to serve for dinner that does not include potatoes.

The Kraft Sizzling Salads also come in three other varieties.  You can choose the Chicken Caear, Greek Chicken, and Chicken Teriyaki Ginger.  They all sound yummy.  We will definitely be trying all three in this house.

The Southwest Sizzling Salad kit get a big thumbs up from me and my son.  I want to thank Strategic Objectives and Kraft for the opportunity to review this product.  Oh, yes, and my son thanks you too.
