Follow The Directions

01

Step
6 mins

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.

02

Step
3 mins

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.

03

Step
7 mins

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.

04

Step

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

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dollop of sour cream or guacamole before serving.
Adjust the amount of spicy seasoning blend to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, use a regular taco seasoning.
Feel free to substitute the chicken with ground turkey or beef for a different twist.
If you don't have chili-lime tortilla strips, regular tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips will work just as well.
