Chicken and rice "casserole"

This is the laziest meal that doesn't come in a prepackaged box to be microwaved. This is for when you don't even have any leftovers or lunchmeat in the fridge, and there is nothing in the freezer but strange dark splotches left over from when the door was left open the last time and mysterious tupperware with ominous chunks of something freezer-burned. I make this for supper, like, once a week.

1 bowl of 1-minute microwave rice
1 can of peas
1 can of chicken
2 tbsp mayonnaise

Drain off the peas and chicken. Microwave the rice for 1 minute. Add everything to a bowl and stir it up.
