Thyme for                         Cooking

    Dinner doesn't get much easier than this.  'Cook Once; Eat Twice'!  With leftover chicken, rice & carrots and gravy, all from Saturday, it's just a matter of 'heat and eat'.  I used up the leftover Greek yogurt as well, giving it a sort of 'Stroganoff' flavor.

Baked Chicken and Rice                                          Time: 30 minutes
    This is a simple casserole made from Saturday's leftovers.  If someone ate the rest of the chicken but you still have the rice and carrots, just substitute 2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked.

leftover rice and carrots
leftover chicken
leftover gravy
2 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
3 - 4 oz Greek or plain yogurt,  whatever you have left

Slice the chicken.  Put the rice and carrots in a baking dish.  Lay the chicken on top.  Mix the leftover gravy with the yogurt, mustard, herbs and pour over the top.  Cover and bake until hot, about 20 minutes if everything came from the fridge.
