Directions

  1. Season chicken with seasoning blend. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Carefully add chicken to oil, cook and stir until fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl.

  2. Stir vegetable blend, beans and half of the tomatoes into the same skillet. Cook until coated with oil and vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to the bowl with chicken.

  3. Stir together Knorr® Fiesta Sides™ - Spanish Rice and 2 cups water in the same skillet. Bring to a boil, stir. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken and vegetables. Cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Stir in remaining tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Top with chili-lime flavor tortilla strips and serve immediately.

Recipe Note

Transform a chicken and rice casserole into a one-skillet meal with the addition of fire-grilled vegetables and beans seasoned to bring out the flavors of Texas and with the crunchiness of crispy tortilla strips.
