This crunchy, saucy hot dish is potluck-perfect! It’s so convenient because you can make the casserole the day before and bake it the day of the potluck. It’s good made with turkey, too.
Ingredients:
5 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups chopped celery
5 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon pimientos, optional
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (3 ounces) chow mein noodles
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese, chow mein noodles and almonds. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned and cheese is bubbly. Yield: 12 servings.
