Nancy Reagan’s most lasting contribution might not be the slogan, “Just Say No,” but a recipe for Baja Chicken that she made popular while First Lady.

Mrs. Reagan said she served Baja Chicken with Rancho California Rice, but I don’t have nerve enough to pass it on without an artery alert. It calls for 3 cups of cheese, 2 cups of sour cream, and a half-stick of butter. You could get by with that in the Eighties, but not today.
