Leftover Chicken and Rice with Red Curry and Turmeric

From Terri

Start with leftover cooked chicken. Using a frying pan, give it a once-over with olive oil spray, and add a dash of Red Curry and Turmeric. Then add this to any previously cooked rice dish that you have heated in the microwave oven. For this dish tonight I used a country rice medley, and then I added more Red Curry and Turmeric, to taste. I usually use about a few pinches of Red Curry and about 1-1/2 tsp. of Turmeric. If it is dry, then add a bit of olive oil or butter. When you are done with this quick meal, you will have a dinner that is dramatically different than the left over(s) you started with. Most won't recognize it as the dish it once was, and it will be memorable.

As alternatives, you can use regular curry, add salt and pepper or add a dash of ginger if you like.
