This is my most requested recipe. It can be prepared a couple hours ahead of time which makes it a perfect dish to serve when entertaining. Just pop it in the oven a few minutes before you plan to eat. I especially like to serve it during the summer months accompanied with a jello salad and some fresh fruit and fresh crossiants. But it's equally good served in the cooler months along side of a vegetable (maybe peas or asaparagus) and a nice spinach salad and hot bread.
Ingredients:
2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
2 cups chopped celery
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced onions
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2/3 cup mayonnaise
3 -6 hardboiled egg, chopped
2 cups crushed potato chips (see note below)
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except chips.
2. In a casserole dish, place 1/2 of the crushed potato chips. (see Note below).
3. Add the chicken salad mixture.
4. Top with the remaining chips.
5. Bake at 350-450 for 15 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
6. Note: I actually don't divide the potato chips. I only use about half of the chips called for in the recipe - and skip the bottom layer. I only put the crushed chips on the top of the casserole. This is just personal perference. I wanted to submit the recipe the way it was written and the way I made it when I first found it.
7. Note: Crushed corn flake cereal can be used in place of the potato chips.
