3. Using a #8 scoop (½ cup), place Veggie Mix around the Chicken Strips over the rice.

Chef’s Notes:

Meal can be made ahead of time and served cold – just chill all ingredients after prep.  Individual bowls can be built a day ahead, covered and stored under refrigeration overnight to serve the next day.  For a smoother Cilantro-Lime Cream Sauce, blend in a food processor.
