Shaheema Khan's Mexican Rice & Prego Chicken Strips combines fragrant basmati rice, spiced chicken strips, and a medley of sauces for a flavorful dish. The chicken is marinated with a blend of spices and sauces, then cooked until tender. The rice is layered with stir-fried vegetables and crispy potatoes, topped with the chicken strips, and baked to perfection. Serve with lemon wedges, Doritos chips, or a yogurt-coriander dip for added zest.
