Great use for left over Rotissorie chicken
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

After making this according to the recipe, the second time I changed a few things for my family's taste. I toasted the... almonds in a dry pan. Then I sauteed the celery in the pan. Finally, I topped the casserole with canned onion rings because I didn't have the potato chips. 5 stars!Read more

going to make it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I will make this but I think I might saute the celery for just a minute or so. Many of you complained about the too crunchy... celery. This will maike it less crunchy. I need the celery but not raw tasting in hot things. Sounds so deliciousRead more

Great recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for dinner last night. As I have kidney disease, I have to watch my sodium intake. I made the recipe with... no-salt rotisserie chicken, no-salt almonds, Lightly Salted Classic Lays and Light Best Foods Mayonnaise. I did not add the salt called for in the recipe but did use regular sharp cheddar cheese. The meal was absolutely delicious served with Kings Hawaiian Rolls. My husband went back for three servings. Thank you, Paula for introducing me to this simple, tasty recipe!Read more

Something for the whole family - Awesome and Quick
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My entire family loves this one. I know make two dishes; one with broccoli added for myself and the kids and the other... without for the hubby. I prefer to use left over chicken on hand but, in a pinch will quickly cook chicked that has been cut in bite size pieces.Read more
