Ingredients

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup CLASSICO Traditional Basil Pesto Sauce and Spread
2 tsp. lemon zest
1-1/3 cups instant brown rice, uncooked
1-1/3 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can (13-3/4 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained, quartered
1/2 lb. fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, cut in half
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb.)
1 cup KRAFT Finely Shredded Parmesan Cheese
2 Tbsp. sliced fresh basil

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F.
Mix cream cheese, pesto sauce and lemon zest until blended.
Spoon 1/3 cup rice onto center of each of 4 large sheets heavy-duty foil sprayed with cooking spray. Turn up sides of foil; slowly pour 1/3 cup broth over rice on each foil sheet. Top evenly with vegetables, chicken, cream cheese mixture and Parmesan. Fold foil to make 4 packets.
Place packets in single layer on baking sheet.
Bake 25 to 28 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). Remove packets from oven; let stand 2 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before carefully opening each packet. Sprinkle with basil.
