I'm not a fan of chicken salad, but this was awesome! I made some changes which for me turned out fantastic. I sub'd mayo for lite mayo and reduced to 2/3 c. I sub'd grated sharp cheddar with 2% shredded cheddar to lighten it up a bit.
Great

User: Emily from Coppell, TX User Rating:
i got this recipe from her cookbook..which said you can use rotisserie chicken..so i omitted the salt since i used that instead of the plain chicken breast. i can't imagine how greasy the dish would be if i used the amount paula suggested. i only used 1/4 c. mayonnaise and that was enough. you can serve this recipe cold or hot...i thought it's odd just to eat it alone..so i served it as a hot chicken salad sandwich..

this will be on my repeat often list. instead of chips, i put extra cheese on the top. the almonds give it a really neat crunch. since i'm a low-carber, this works out well with my lifestyle. i added some celery seed too.... thank you paula! another winner!!!

We just had this for dinner tonight, and it was wonderful. I actually prepared it several days ago and baked it as directed, let it cool, and then wrapped it well and froze it. I have prepared it with both lowfat plain yogurt and lowfat mayo. Although I don't like mayo normally, it is the better choice for this recipe.
Yummy!

I love hot chicken salad! I have a few suggestions to make it even better: instead of using crushed potato chips, try crushed corn flakes! It still adds that great crunchy experience and does not add any excess oils. Also I love to add water chestnuts for an extra crunch.

My fiancee is not that picky, but when I mentioned a hot chicken salad instead of a cold one he kind of turned his nose to the idea. I made it any way and he loved it as did I.

I loved this dish...mainly cause I adore chicken salda. I was easy to make and my fiance and I adored it. I did change some things however. There was too much mayo for me so I cut the mayo by 1/3 and added a little low fat swiss cheese. I am not a fan of celery and in my chicken salad dishes I always like a little sweet tang. To provide this dish with a little tang I used dried cranraisins. It was great!!

I tested this recipe on my family yesterday and it turned out delicious! One person thought the lemon taste was too strong and acidic, and my picky-eater daughter wasn't crazy about the crunch of the celery. Everyone else loved it. I had to use an 8x8 dish because it wouldn't even have covered the bottom of a 9x13 pan. I'm going to triple the recipe and serve it at a luncheon for 12 next weekend. Thanks, Paula!

User: Liz from Scottsdale, AZ User Rating:
This recipe (or a version of it) has been around for 40 plus years. It is one of my favorite "comfort food" dishes. My mother called it Christmas Eve Casserole. She used fresh Dungeness crab meat instead of chicken on Xmas Eve (but left-over chicken the rest of the year.) The biggest difference between her recipe and Paula's is that my mother put a cup of dried stuffing mix (the seasoned, cubed variety, not Stove Top)in the casserole mixture, and topped the casserole with another cup of stiffing mix, crushed. She also added some grated cheese to the top of the crushed stuffing cubes.
Thumbs UP!

This recipe is delicious. The sharp cheddar may be a bit too much for some. My children didn't like it. Reheating it tends to make it greasy. (probably from the potato chips). Overall I will make this again. It might also do well (minus the chips) in a crock pot.

This sounded so delicious on paper but I wasn't pleased with the end result. After reading other reviews, I cut back on the mayo and didn't add any salt.

I've been making this ever since I first saw the show, although over time I have made some alterations. I omitted the almonds, and started using chopped dill pickle instead of the celery. Because I first thought the dish was lacking a little 'kick', too.. I cut back the mayo to 3/4 cup, and added 2 Tbsp dijon mustard. I use sour cream and onion chips, and sprinkle a little cayenne pepper or paprika over them before I bake. When I'm in a hurry, I grab a bag of grilled chicken strips at the store...I like the flavor they add to this dish. We eat it 2-3 times a month.

I saw Paula make this the other day, and thought it looked like a nice quick alternative to boring chicken. It is a great basic dish. I would agree with some of the other reviewers though. I always believe recipes are a great foundation and you should add your own creative touches when you feel inspired. I agree with another reviewer that potato chips seemed to salty, and corn flakes worked great. I also added some extra flavor with some chopped, marinated artichoke hearts, and paprika over the top. It only filled an 8x8 dish though. Since it was just my husband and I, the leftovers made fantastic wraps the next day.

This recipe turned out pretty delicious! The only reason I gave it 4 stars out of 5 is because it is VERY greasy and heavy with that 1 cup of Mayo. Next time we make it - we are going to try 1/2 cup and maybe use cream cheese instead. Using corn flakes rather than potato chips might be an improvement as well. Fantastic blend of flavors and textures.

User: melissa from Stuart, FL User Rating:
I tried the recipe as it is written with the exception of adding 1/2 cup onion as suggested in another review. The flavor was incredible. However, I thought it was far too oily. I agree that the mayo should probably be reduced to half and I will do that the next time. I also used a smaller dish to bake this in - a 9" round shallow baker. I think that was plenty big because it really would have been extremely thin in a 9x13. I will make this as an appetizer from now on by shredding the chicken instead. I had it the next day for lunch with tortilla chips and it was very tasty - after pouring out at least a Tbls of oil. Very good tasting recipe though and I will make it again with suggestions from others.

I used a rotissorie chicken I had left over and I toasted the almonds, this adds a lot of flavor to the dish. I wouldn't typically serve this as a main dish but maybe as a side since it seemed a bit rich to my liking. I didn't add all of the mayo as suggested by others. Overall I think this was o.k. Probably will not make again.

My family has always made this same recipe, but with the addtion of diced onions and about 1 1/2 cups of cooked rice added. That makes it more of a one dish casserole. I tend to like it more with the rice.

As other reviewers suggested, I toasted the almonds and used 1/4 to 1/3 less mayo than the recipe called for. I think the full amount of mayo would have been too much, but this was nice. I brought mine to a potluck picnic and got lots of compliments, but I don't think I'd serve it as a main entree, only as a side. Mine barely filled a 9" square pan, so double it if you want more.
Very yummy.

I love Paula and her no-nonsense "so what's wrong with not being a size 0" recipes! I used the flavored almonds that come packaged for salads and used 1/2 cup sour cream instead of mayo and added onions, but I've made it true to the recipe and it was just terrific both ways. I love Paula and her recipes!

I tried this and it was very east to prepare and took no time at all. However, I didn't care for it in the end!! I tweaked it a little, too. I toasted the almonds, which gave it a nice nutty taste rather than a raw nut taste. I cut the mayo in 1/2 and it was plenty, also used light mayo. I crushed sour cream & onion chips on top. Just didn't care for the end result.

My DH and I really like this dish. It is great for any leftover chicken you have, you can use baked, fried (skin removed),boiled or microwaved. One of the best for a quick "what's for dinner?'. I didn't think it made as many serving as stated, but didn't matter, as it just the two of us and what leftovers we had were great, next day. Thanks for a keeper, Paula

After reading the reviews I made this recipe and it turned out excellent. It will probably be better cold than it was hot but that's just my preference for this recipe. I alternated it by adding some onions & scallions, lemon zest, 1/2 c. mayo rather than 1 c. I used garlic & cheese croutons rather than potato chips and I toasted the almonds. Yummy!
you just need the right mayo

User: BETTY from BLUE HILL, ME User Rating:
If you are using a good brand of mayo, and in my mind that is Hellmann's, you should be more than happy with this recipe. We love it and so does everyone else who has tried it. You can try others but the recipe is only as good as the ingredients in it. I love Paula's cooking and haven't found more than a couple of recipes that I wouldn't bother to make again. I have tried tons of them and will continue to do so.

Paula's hot chicken salad combines unique tastes and textures. Definitely a dish that will generate periodic cravings. Note: To fill the recommended 9x13 baking pan you'll need to triple the recipe.

This recipe has been in my family for years, and we all love it. We make it just a bit differently though. We don't mix the cheese in the chicken mixture, but rather sprinkle it on top, then we sprinkle on the crushed potato chips, and finally, toasted slivered almonds. The biggest difference is that we refrigerate it overnight before baking it which allows the flavors to meld. I refuse to eat it if it hasn't sat overnight because it just doesn't taste that great baked right after you've combined the ingredients.

I am a regular user of Paula's recipes, and this is a new favorite amongst many favorites.

This is not as "mayonnaisey" if you add an extra half-cup of celery, and a tablespoon or so of finely chopped onion. The salt is not needed with all the mayo, cheese, and chips. Also, adding a teaspoon or two of lemon zest and toasting the almonds first is an improvement. Just made this last night for the ladies at church, and it was gone in no time!
