In a skillet over medium heat, saute the first seven ingredients in oil until vegetables are tender. Remove from the hear; stir in vinegar. Cool for 5 minutes. In a bow, toss rice, chicken, celery, peppers and onions.
Stir in the ham mixture. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish with tomatoes. I got this recipe from Taste of Home Magazine. That is a lot of ingredients, but it was worth it. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by ellenmirvine@... (Ellen M Irvine) on Jul 05, 1997
