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

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

One of the Best...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The first time I made this, I doubled it and added more veggies - some red bell pepper and extra additions of celery, etc. I... made two casseroles - one for me and my husband and one for a friend in surgery recovery. I used smaller as pans and we all loved it! I also reserved some raw diced veggies to sprinkle over each serving. Wonderful! Since then, I make one batch. I agree that a 9 x 13 is too big for this unless you double it. So I do the next size down. And I use leftover baked chicken breasts - cannot stand canned chicken... Also I am a potato chip purist. Lays classic is the ONLY one for me....Read more
