Corn and red pepper bring color to this nicely seasoned chicken and rice bake. The crunch from toasted almonds sprinkled on top also sets it apart from classic versions of this casserole. —Mary Louise Chubb of Perkasie, Pennsylvania

It was very easy & quick to make. I used frozen green & red peppers, & left over chicken. The chicken I placed on top of the mixture. Added the toasted almonds & parsley & in the oven it went. It did a little longer in the oven as the rice didn't get done in 20 min.
