Recipes Worth Sharing - Hot Chicken Salad

My mother-in-law shared this recipe with me several years ago. It's yummy in that way that only true comfort food can be.


Hot Chicken Salad

• 2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Miracle Whip works just as well)
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/3 cup slivered blanched almonds
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 cup slivered blanched almonds
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Combine chicken, celery, onion, 1 cup slivered almonds, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt & pepper in a 1.5 qt casserole.
3. Sprinkle with the 1/3 cup slivered almonds.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Serves 4-5. We usually serve with a veggie or salad, and some crescent rolls.
