Chris was home all week so I thought I would make him another yummy casserole since he had requested something with crunch, texture, fat, etc. I was looking through my old recipes and found this recipe for Hot Chicken Salad. I was mixing it up the night before I was headed out of town and Chris noticed and asked me, "is there a starch in that recipe?" Well.... no! The Tuna Casserole I posted a few weeks ago had pasta and I think Chris was hoping for a good chicken and rice casserole. I will make that sometime soon.
He enjoyed every bite of this yummy crunchy Hot Chicken Salad. I suggested he eat it over toast... or make rice on the side. He enjoyed it both ways since he ate it for like four nights in a row.
Hot Chicken Salad
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed (I used Costco rotisserie chicken that they cut up and have bagged)
2 cups diced celery
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 tsp salt or more to taste
1 tsp grated/minced onion or more to taste
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded cheese
For topping - crushed potato chips
Mix all ingredients except potato chips and spoon into a 8 x 8 square prepared pan. Top with crushed potato chips. Bake uncovered at 375 for 20 minutes or until bubbly and slightly browned.
