Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1 cup light mayonnaise
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (2 ounce) jar pimento peppers, drained and chopped
½ cup sliced almonds
1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
garlic salt to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (2.8 ounce) can French-fried onion rings

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in skillet, and cook 10 minutes, or until juices run clear. Drain, and transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Mix with mayonnaise, water chestnuts, pimentos, almonds, celery seed, and lemon juice. Season with garlic salt to taste. Layer with cheese, and top with French-fried onion rings.
Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and onion rings are lightly browned. If rings start to get too brown, put foil on casserole or lower oven rack. Watch carefully, or onion rings will burn.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken breasts. This will help them cook more evenly and make them more juicy.
Season the chicken breasts with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
