HOT CHICKEN SALAD
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.

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:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your casserole. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will be dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole. Cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella are all good choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a hot overnight chicken casserole. Get creative and try different ingredients and flavors.
