Mom’s Recipe – Hot Chicken Salad

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 2-1/2 to 3 cups cooked chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 3/4 cup celery, diced
  • 1 tsp. dried minced onion
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together all ingredients except the potato chips. Put mixture into a 1 to 1-1/2 qt. glass casserole dish. Bake for 25 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with the crushed potato chips and return to oven for 5 more minutes. Serve hot.

I usually use chicken breasts which I simmer in salted water and then skin and cut up in pieces, but, any cooked chicken will do and, I suppose even canned chicken would be fine. I have found that the amount of chicken does not have to be exact and can be a little more or less. You can always add a bit more mayonnaise. Raw onion can be used in place of the dried and the lemon juice can be either fresh or concentrate.

*This is Michael’s favorite meal*

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
