Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You'll want to make plenty of salsa so you can serve it over other cuts of fish and poultry. You can even use it as a sauce for hot cooked pasta or as a dressing for chilled pasta salads.
  • tip 2
    To sauté, brush chicken with Italian dressing. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts in skillet 15 to 20 minutes, turning once and brushing with dressing occasionally, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
