MISS DAISY'S HOT BAKED CHICKEN SALAD



Miss Daisy's Hot Baked Chicken Salad image

There are probably a thousand different ways to make a hot chicken salad casserole, but this is, in my opinion, one of the tastiest and simplest. This recipe comes from "Miss Daisy" King, a Nashville cooking legend who made this recipe and many others famous at her "Miss Daisy's Tearoom" in Franklin, Tennessee. I like to serve this for supper with fresh fruit, hot rolls and lemon icebox pie for dessert.

HOT CHICKEN SALAD



Hot Chicken Salad image

This quintessential American casserole epitomizes timeless comfort food. The "hot" in this chicken salad refers to temperature, not spice. This casserole takes the components of a classic chicken salad, tops it off with crunchy classic potato chips and bakes in the oven until warmed through. While the filling and toppings vary by region and recipe, the main ingredients, like the version here, include cooked chicken, celery, mayonnaise, grated cheese and slivered almonds. You can poach your own chicken or save time and use a cut up rotisserie or poached chicken. Hot chicken salad does precisely what is asked of a casserole: to soothe, lift up and spread joy.

Provided by Naz Deravian

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 large celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch slices at an angle
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar (3 ounces)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion salt
Salt and black pepper
4 cups potato chips (classic or ruffled), lightly crushed, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack positioned in the center.
  • Place the chicken, celery, mayonnaise, Cheddar, almonds, lemon juice and onion salt in a large bowl and mix to combine well. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper as needed. The amount will depend on how seasoned your chicken is.
  • Transfer the chicken mixture to a 3-quart (9-by-13-inch) shallow baking dish. Spread it out evenly and top with the crushed potato chips. Add more chips if needed to cover the top.
  • Bake uncovered until the chips are golden brown and the mixture is warmed through and bubbling lightly at the bottom, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier filling, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or sour cream to the chicken mixture.
  • To make the pies ahead of time, assemble them completely and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.
  • If you don't have refrigerated pie crusts on hand, you can use a store-bought frozen pie crust. Just thaw it according to the package directions before using.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the tops of the pies with an egg wash (one egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking.
  • Serve the pies with a side of your favorite salad or soup.
