Hot Chicken Salad

If you have ever been to a shower given by my family then you've probably had this dish! Our menu planning always seems to lead us here... it's always a crowd pleaser! It's perfect on it's own with some fruit or a fresh green salad, but also great as a warm chicken salad sandwich on a croissant or roll. There is a fair amount of chopping involved but the end result is worth it!





6 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or chopped
3 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2/3 cup chopped green pepper
1/3 cup chopped green onion
8 ounce package sliced mushrooms
1 small jar pimentos
1 can water chestnuts
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon season salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Combine all ingredients except cheese. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake at 300 degrees for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake another 5 minutes.
