Tasty Tomato, Rice and Chicken Frittata

Leftovers Re-Made into a Quick and Delicious Dinner

Tasty Tomato, Rice and Chicken Frittata

You can take leftovers like rice and chicken, add a few cherry tomatoes, and have a tasty Tomato, Rice and Chicken Frittata for dinner in less time than it takes to order a pizza. | 15 Minute Meals | Recipes | YMCFood | YummyMummyClub.ca

This is another one of my favourite go to recipes. On a busy weeknight or weekend, when we have lots on the go, this makes for a perfect easy and quick to prepare meal. It’s actually faster to make this dinner than it is to pick up a menu and figure out what to order from the local pizza place.

Here, I made this with leftover chicken and rice, but really almost anything goes.  I’ve made this dish with pasta, quinoa and almost any leftover vegetables I have on hand.  It's a perfect way to use up odds and ends that pile up in the fridge without re-heating and re-serving your leftovers.  I love to add some cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs to brighten up the dish and add a hint of freshness to it.  Topped with some cheese, this dish is ready to go!  Add a big salad on the side and you have the satisfying meal!

Once eggs set and the edges begin to cook, 3-4 minutes, remove from heat.  Top of frittata will still be wet.
