COLORFUL CHICKEN AND RICE

I came across this in Taste of Home's Quick Cooking. Was unsure about it, but took a chance and love it. The corn chips gives it a crunch and the lettuce and tomatoe add a cool crispiness that add to the warm creaminess of the rice and chicken. It is extreamly wonderful. I've served it at a Bible Study and everyone loved it.
