Baked Chicken Salad

Carla is deeply suspicious of any recipe that includes potato chips (except for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with chips in the middle – honestly, try it, tastes great), but Ania loved this.

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 2 cups celery, finely diced
  • Scant ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • Pimiento-stuffed olives, sliced

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients except cheese and potato chips. Spread in baking dish; top with cheese, then chips. Dot with sliced olives. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, but watch closely to make sure potato chips don’t burn. Cut into squares, and serve hot.
