SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE
This is from southernfood.about.com. It's a great dish for using leftover chicken and rice, and it is VERY easy. Don't let the number of ingredients fool you - as a lot of them are spices. I used almond milk and whole wheat flour, but regular milk and all purpose flour can be used (respectively). You can also use less ground red pepper if you don't want it quite so hot.
