This mouthwatering casserole makes an excellent potluck dish. It's creamy and just bursting with flavor. A golden topping made of cornflakes and almonds offers 'crunch' appeal!—Michelle Krzmarzick, Redondo Beach, California

Made this last night leaving out mushrooms but adding frozen peas and carrots. Everything else was as written in recipe. It was delish! Creamy and an excellent easy meal

The recipe went together beautifully and was a big hit with my family. Also made a batch for neighbors - they loved it!

Casserole is average. Did not think is was any thing special. The recipie could use some herbs to add a punch of flavor. Agree with the other review's that it needs a side of rice to assist with the dish.

If anyone complains about this Almond Chicken recipe being bland or otherwise, I think they should have their taste buds checked. My family thought it was the best every and have requested it again & again.

This was awesome. I served it with butter rice. Everyone loved it, even my picky 3 year old.

I enjoyed making this and think it's a good recipe. Agree with previous comments that it needs to be put over rice and/or pasta. Also I'd saute the onions and celery to make them more tender.

We liked it alot, however way to much sauce. And I even added more mushrooms. Next time I'll cut back on the sour cream and mayo, and put it over rice or pasta. Good flavor though.

This was great! Much better than I had anticipated it being! Used reduced fat and light ingredients where available. We had it over brown rice so there was more fiber in the meal.
