The water chestnuts and sliced almonds gives this dish a nice crunch . I cook the chicken and rice the day before I plan to serve. Then the next day, I just throw it all together and bake. Serve this casserole with a side dish of cooked broccoli. Makes a wonderful meal.

1 1/2 cups cooked rice

1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons chopped onions
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon melted butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
