This was yummy! Made some changes though. Used about 1 and 1/2 cup of chicken and cut the mayo down to 1/2 cup and then added 1/2 cup of sour cream. Added about 1 tsp of onion powder and 1tsp of crushed garlic. Deffintly will make again.
I loved the flavor of this dish however mine came out very oily which is why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5. any ideas why? i followed the receipe to a tee
I am a huge fan of this recipe. I have cooked it several times and changed it slightly each time. I leave out the lemon juice because I am not a fan of lemon. I have also used Miracle Whip in place of regular mayo or Sour Cream. Both give it a slightly different taste but they are all delicious.
absolutely love this dish, instead of cornflakes use lays potato chips.
Love, love, loved this recipe! substitued mushrooms for water chestnuts and french's fried onions instead of cornflakes and almonds...just because i'm picky. it was awesome!
For those of you complaining about the nutrition value of this, no one said you had to make it. What gives you the right to comment on something that never claimed to be the greatest for you healthwise. Just because you can't eat it doesn't mean it's not good! And I agree with the others. If you have that restricted of a diet, then you should know how to slim down a recipe by now.
I really enjoyed this recipe. I made changes to it to fit our likings. I left out the celery, rice, water chestnuts, and almonds but it still was delicious. We will definitely make this again!
This is a great recipe. I have made it for years. (I'm a 60 year cook) We also called it Chicken Casserole Crunch, and it is rich. To me, too much changing changes the whole taste. Eat smaller helpings instead. like moo333. She has the right idea. Thanks for sharing your recipe. cjyaro
This was suchan interesting combination of flavors. I subsituted fat free sour cream in place of mayo. Also subbed the healthy request cream of chicken soup. I used half the amount of butter, and used brown rice. My version was excellent and only 350 calories!! Thanks so much for the recipe!
I subscribe to all TOC magazines. Just because a recipe calls for a certain ingredient doesn't mean I HAVE to put it in there. Recipes are a GREAT way to learn and get ideas as to what fits your lifestyle. I would rather have great ideas then to stare at the frig night after night saying "What's for dinner?"
