It was a Sunday afternoon and I knew we were having company for dinner. I knew my meal didn’t have to be perfect. I knew our friend who was coming would eat anything I’d cook, and love it. And I knew we had chicken breasts in the fridge.
After loading the iFood Assistant app on my iPhone awhile back, I’ve just now started using it – a lot!
But before I continue with the recipe, I want to tell you that I will be giving away 2 GIFT CARDS to ONE lucky winner!
Here are the details: I was given the opportunity (iTunes giftcard) to download and review the Kraft Foods iFood Assistant app for my iPhone. I was also given a gift card to pay for groceries (have I told you how much I love Kraft Foods?)
Back to the chicken. I went to the “Dinner Tonight” feature and I found the following chicken recipe.
Why did I choose this one? Because it was 4 (out of 4) stars and I knew I already had all of the ingredients. But I have to tell you, if I hadn’t had the ingredients, I would have chosen a recipe and clicked right on the shopping list! Easy-peasy! It even organizes everything by department/aisle, finds your nearest grocery store AND on the Kraft Kitchens site, you can even add your own items to the shopping list that shows up on your iPhone, iTouch or Blackberry.
YES! You can NOW get the iFood Assistant on your iPhone, iTouch AND your Blackberry.
I also “watched” how to make this recipe (on my iPhone) in about 30 seconds – and I said, I can do that!

And now for the recipe!
CHICKEN IN CREAMY PAN SAUCE
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. oil
3/4 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
COAT chicken with flour. Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 min. on each side or until cooked through (165°F). Remove chicken from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet. Cover chicken to keep warm.
ADD broth to skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Add cream cheese; cook 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is melted and sauce starts to thicken, stirring constantly with wire whisk.
RETURN chicken to skillet; turn over to coat both sides of chicken with sauce. Cook 2 min. or until chicken is heated through.
I served this dish with broccoli. And I added a special touch: cherry tomatoes and crumbled bacon. It was DELICIOUS! Thank you, Kraft Foods, for this easy recipe – one of 7000 on the app!
I have been compensated by Kraft Foods to cover the cost of groceries to try out recipes featured on iFood Assistant 2.0/LITE, downloading the app and conducting reader giveaways. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive sentiments towards iFood Assistant or other Kraft Foods mobile offerings.
THE 5 WINNERS who get to attend the A Woman Inspired Conference for FREE: Selena, Darla, Kristen, Courtney, and Emily Wade. Congrats Ladies!

Congratulations to the A Woman Inspired winners!
Now, I’ll go purchase my ticket
The iPhone App looks like a handy homemaker helper. Makes me want to go buy an iPhone……
However! the Chicken in Creamy Pan Sauce looks even better. Yummo! makes me drool.
Peace.

Yumm! Good pick. I think I may try it tonight for the same reason as you. I already have all of the ingredients.
[Reply]
The recipe sounds delicious!
I don’t have an iPhone, but the app sounds very useful.
[Reply]
The dinner looks so yummy! Got to try that one!
I love Kraft. They always come up with fast/easy recipes! My favorite kind!
I didn’t know they had a APP but it would sure be useful!
[Reply]
I had no idea there was an app for that (hey, that rhymed!). I would sooo use that!!!
[Reply]
I would totally use this application if I had it on my phone. I love to cook and I love to try new recipes, in fact I think I am going to use the one above on the chicken I got at a great deal this past weekend.
Daily laying it at the Master’s feet!

It is amazing what you can do with the iphone. I don’t have one, but my daughter has an Ipod touch and she enjoys so many cool apps.
Great giveaway!
[Reply]
I don’t have an i-phone, either – although now I really wish that I did! Can I still enter the giveaway for the AmEx card?
[Reply]
An Iphone is on my list of wants, I would definitely use this app if I had it….
and sure would love the gift card.
[Reply]
I am excited about trying out this iPhone app.
[Reply]
What a wonderful app. Can’t wait to try it.
[Reply]
I just got a Blackberry and am wanting to make full use of it. This app. sounds like the reason I got this phone!
[Reply]
I have this app, but, to be honest, I haven’t looked at it much. I should, the chicken looks great!
[Reply]
This app for the iphone looks like one that would be great! I am always in search of more family-friendly meals!
[Reply]
I’m checking that out right now (C: I’m downloading the free version right now.
[Reply]
I’m thrilled to be a winner of an AWI ticket. Please don’t include me in this drawing as I don’t use an “i” anything (smile) I can tell you tho that I make a heck of a cheesecake and would never dream of using anything but KRAFT Philidelphia cream cheese.
Thanks again!
Darla

I would totally use that. I wonder if they are developing for the droid?? Thats what I have, its apps are awesome.
[Reply]
Looks yummy — I don’t have an i-phone but am going to make this chicken dish….

I had no idea that you could download recipes off your i-phone. Too bad it doesn’t make the meal too!

[Reply]
Wow, that is an awesome app! I have a Blackberry and would love to try it out. I visit Allrecipes.com every day (it seems like) to figure out what to make for dinner. This chicken recipe is DEFINITELY going to be made in our kitchen soon!
[Reply]
I am going to have to check out this app!!! I love finding fun new apps for my iPhone and I’m constantly looking for new, easy recipes. Our family ends up eating far too late at night if I don’t. Thank you Kraft! I’m off – I think I’ll download the app anyhow and if I’m fortunate enough to win the gift certificate, I’m sure I can use it somehow….would make a perfect b-day gift for my son, too!
[Reply]
Makes me want an iPhone! This app looks really useful and the recipe looks delicious!! I’ll just have to stick to the Kraft website for now.
[Reply]
I am going to download the app tonight to my Blackberry. Can’t wait!
[Reply]
1st – that recipe looks delish! Thanks for sharing.
2nd- would love a card for grocery shopping. Right about now, anything would help with 3 little mouths to feed.
Blessings!

I am not using it because I don’t own an iPhone, but if given the chance, I think it’d be great to use. Could especially see using it when I’m at the grocery store.
[Reply]
I had NO IDEA about the ap but Kraft always gives away great recipes at the grocery store and sam’s!
The chicken looks yummy and easy!!
[Reply]
I have never heard of it, but it sounds like a great tool! Thanks!
[Reply]
I am downloading it to my iphone as I type! Looks awesome and I think I will use the recipe this weekend as well!

That recipe looks easy enough for even me to try. My mother-in-law is coming tomorrow for two weeks I may try it out on her. It looks like it is an easy recipe that is sure to impress. Thanks for the recipe.
[Reply]
I would love to give this a try! It seems that I’m always trying to figure out what to make!
[Reply]
Wow…the app looks very interesting. I have been trying so hard to find a way to manage new recipes and it has been a challenge. I would love the opportunity to see how this works but at the moment, I do not have an iphone. Thanks for this opportunity to win and for the yummy looking recipe.
[Reply]
I hadn’t heard of the app before this post, but will download it as soon as I hit the submit button.
[Reply]
I had not heard about this app – but love how great it sounds! Thanks!
[Reply]
I don’t use apps on my phone. I’m old-school…and only use my phone for making calls. LOL! However…I am a huge Kraft fan and love their free monthly magazine (here in Canada anyway)
[Reply]
That recipe sounds so easy and delicous. I don’t have that app but I’ll take a look at it, I like some inspiration for dinners. I’ve got an ipod touch but it works pretty much the same without the phone.
[Reply]
I don’t have an iphone but if I did I might use that app. if it came with pictures. I can’t cook anything new unless I’ve seen it made or see a pic of the finished product:)
[Reply]
I did not know about this app. I don’t have an iphone but do have a touch. I believe I would use this and am going to look for it right now!
[Reply]
I had no idea that they had an app for the blackberry. It definitely sounds like something I would use. Thanks for sharing.
[Reply]
I think this iphone app looks great. I have an iphone, but I don’t have any apps that I can use to help me with cooking and shopping! Thanks for the suggestion.
[Reply]
I just got an iPhone (which I love) and am exploring apps, hadn’t heard about this one yet . . . sure that I would use it daily!
