Baked Chicken Salad Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 7 months ago 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)

¼ cup sour cream

¼ cup milk

½ cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon dry Ranch Dressing mix

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

couple dashes of pepper, to your taste

2 cups cooked chicken breast meat, cubed

1 large stalk celery, diced

½ onion, diced

4 ounces (½ a can) water chestnuts, diced

3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced

½ cup shredded sharp cheddar

For topping:

1 cup crushed Ritz-type crackers (or use crushed potato chips and omit the melted butter)

2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

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.

You'll have to tell aunt Millie she's a celeb of sorts. Ha. This sounds like a great way to utilize leftover chicken. I guess it's a Minnesota thing to like creamy stuff. I sure do!
This also could be called ... let's see ... a casserole because there are no tomatoes ... right? Hot dishes have tomatoes in them. :^)
I'm printing this one for that day when the leftover chicken runs long and the ideas run short. Thanks!

Oh Krum what a wonderful casserole, I like the cream of mushroom soup, and the ranch dressing, but you can keep the water chestnuts, they're right up there with okra for me. I do have to tell you, I have seen deep fried chicken salad served down here. I am so sure the word "salad" would make this heart smart and lite.
Will definitely try your recipe....:)

Us Norwegians call it Hot Dish if it has pasta and is prepared in one pan. If it had tomatoes wouldn't it be spaghetti hot dish?

You should send this one in to Campbell's Soup, Krumkake. I'll bet you'd win a prize! Thanks for the recipe. Tell John thanks, too!
