Baked Chicken Salad

I had leftover chicken from the weekend - I wanted to make cold chicken salad for dinner, but John wanted something hot. I remembered my Aunt Millie's Baked Chicken Salad, and this is what we ended up with...crunchy, salty, creamy with a buttery topping - it was the perfect compromise.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup (my aunt used cream of chicken, but I like the mushroom soup - use either one) shopping list
- ¼ cup sour cream shopping list
- ¼ cup milk shopping list
- ½ cup mayonnaise shopping list
- 1 teaspoon dry ranch dressing mix shopping list
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder shopping list
- couple dashes of pepper, to your taste shopping list
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast meat, cubed shopping list
- 1 large stalk celery, diced shopping list
- ½ onion, diced shopping list
- 4 ounces (½ a can) water chestnuts, diced shopping list
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced shopping list
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar shopping list
- For topping: shopping list
- 1 cup crushed Ritz-type crackers (or use crushed potato chips and omit the melted butter) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons melted butter shopping list
How to make it
- Mix the soup, sour cream, milk, mayonnaise and seasonings together in a bowl; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together chicken, celery, onion, water chestnuts, diced eggs and cheddar; stir in the soup mixture.
- Place the mixture in a lightly buttered 11x7 baking dish (or other shallow casserole dish).
- Bake casserole at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Remove casserole from oven and top with the crushed crackers that have been mixed with the melted butter.
- Return casserole to oven, and increase heat to 375 degrees; continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until topping is browned and casserole is hot and bubbling around the edges.
- Serve immediately.
