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!

🍳 How fun is this April Fool's Day breakfast egg prank?! My kids love all the silly tricks we do on April 1st so this year I thought of a new one to really fool them. I served "sunny side up eggs" for breakfast, two different ways! Check out the details on the blog. 😂😂😂

Time to be transparent. I have been struggling for a while now. I feel like I lost myself years ago. Self worth is so important and I am just now starting to love and focus on me again. I am not striving to be perfect but I am so excited to be a healthier, happier me this year.

Sundays are for brunchin' 🍳 🥓 
My girls and I had a delicious meal at the one of a kind @wellmetcafe . Standouts were the Tokyo Fog drink with yuzu and boba which tasted like Fruit Loops and the amazing Onyx bacon and soft scrambled eggs with creme fraiche. 
Next time I can't wait to try the avocado toast and the Taking Back Sunday chicken sandwich. 🥑

One of my favorite quiet spots in all of Missouri - beautiful Roubidoux Springs in Waynesville, MO. We spent so many afternoons here fishing, splashing, hunting for treasures, skipping rocks, having picnics, and cuddling our dogs. I loved being able to visit again yesterday and enjoy the serene environment and warm sunshine. A must see! ☀️
