Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This vintage inspired recipe is from the wonderful Paula Deen. It reminds me of the weeknight casseroles served by busy Moms back in the 80s .

This clever dish combines two family favorites: creamy chicken salad and comforting casserole!  It is so versatile it would be delicious served for brunch, lunch, or dinner!

Notes

Recipe from Paula Deen.
Did you make this Recipe?Tag @flchefnicole or hashtag #fortheloveoffoodblog

For this recipe you need about 2 cups of shredded or cubed cooked chicken.

I prefer to poached 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts in simmering chicken broth.

Once cooked through remove to a cutting board and cool slightly then shred with forks or chop up.

Perfect for chicken salad and casseroles!

Gather all your ingredients for the chicken mixture. 

In a large mixing bowl combine the chicken, celery, almonds, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and cheese.

Stir well, making sure to combine all the seasonings and sauces. 

Spread the mixture in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

You need 1 cup of crushed potato chips for topping. 

I use my mini food processer to blend them into the perfect small topping to sprinkle on.

Spread the crushed potato chips on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 

The perfect warm brunch dish for you to share with the ones you love!

Serve warm with a side salad and enjoy!

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
