1 (7 oz.) pkg. chicken flavored Rice-a-Roni
1/3 cup long grain rice
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (optional.. my husband doesn't like it!)

1 (6 oz.) jar green olives
1/2 cup salted peanuts (or more, to taste)
2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1/3 cup real mayonnaise (you can always add more after you put it all together if it looks dry)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. curry powder (I usually use a little more, but I like a lot of curry!)
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Cook long grain rice with Rice-a-Roni according to package directions.

Toss rice with onions, bell pepper, artichokes, olives, peanuts and diced cooked chicken.
