I like to see how much I can "dress up" leftovers as an exciting new meal. Here's a flavorful combination that I often serve guests when I'm short on time.

Ingredients

2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons butter
3 chicken bouillon cubes

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes

In a skillet over medium heat, saute chicken, rice and onion in butter for 10 minutes. Dissolve bouillon in water. Add salt, thyme and pepper; stir to mix. Pour into skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and almonds. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.
