Tuscan Chicken Simmer

I found this recipe in a Kraft booklet at the grocery store one day last week. I tried it and it was really good!
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Cream Cheese, cubed
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup pesto (I just mixed up the little pesto mix packet, looks like a packet of taco seasoning, and used that. I think you can buy already made pesto, but I never have)
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
1 cup KRAFT Finely Shredded Italian* Five Cheese Blend (I just used shredded mozarella b/c that's what I already had)
HEAT large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cover skillet with lid. Cook 5 to 7 min. on each side or until chicken is cooked through (165ºF). Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
REDUCE heat to medium. Add cream cheese, water, pesto and tomatoes to skillet. Cook, uncovered, 2 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
RETURN chicken to skillet. Cook and stir 1 min. or until chicken is coated and heated through. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
I served this with fettucine noodles on the side, as the picture shows. We ate the rest of the pesto sauce that I didn’t use over the noodles. It was pretty good!
