Hot Chicken Salad Casserole


Are you inundated with hard-boiled eggs after the Easter weekend? We are swimming in them at my house and I have been trying to come up with ways to use them for good. We had egg salad sandwiches for lunch, and ate eggs straight out of the shell for an afternoon snack. Tonight for dinner we are having this yummy casserole. The recipe comes from my fabulous mother-in-law and is one of my kids' favorites. Hope you enjoy!

2 cups chicken- cooked and cubed
2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
2 Tbs. dried minced onion
3 cups cooked rice (about 1 cup uncooked)
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup mayo
1 cup slivered almonds
6 hard-boiled eggs- chopped
2 cups diced celery
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup Rice Crispies cereal (or corn flakes)
2 Tbs. butter

Combine all ingredients except cereal and butter in a large mixing bowl and stir gently until just combined. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and smooth out using the back of a spoon. Crush up the cereal and combine with melted better. Top the casserole with crushed cereal mixture and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

This is similar to Mom's Chicken Rice Casserole that we love! I have SO many hard-boiled eggs from Easter, so thanks for the new option:)
