Last week my wife went grocery shopping without me and she picked up a packet of Kraft Fresh Take seasoning. This premixed seasoning/breading packet is similar to Shake 'N Bake. It was in the refrigerated section, near the cheese if you want to go look for it at Walmart. Anyway, she got the Southwest Three Cheese flavor, there were six different flavors to choose from. I was a little skeptical about how good it would be.
The other night we were in a rush to get dinner going and then get to work on our bathroom remodel that is taking far longer than anticipated, so I grabbed the package and began to thaw out the chicken. I was pleased from the beginning. The resealable bag was separated into two pouches, one with the seasoning/breading and the other with some shredded cheese. I opened the bag and and pulled apart the divide to combine the two sections as directed.
It was super easy, you put a piece of chicken, shrimp, pork, whatever, in the bag; close it up and shake it pat it, do whatever to adhere the breading to the meat. Take it out and pop it in the oven.
I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't get to eat it that night as my help with the bathroom showed up a few minutes before the chicken was done in the oven. I can't attest to whether the chicken was moist or not, but after reheating it in the microwave for lunch the next day, it was still pretty good.
Needless to day, when we went grocery shopping Sunday, we picked up another one in a different flavor, Cheddar Jack and Bacon. We very well may "try them all."
