HOT CHICKEN SALAD
Having my recipe selected as a winner is a special thrill for me-my husband is a manager of the Penn State Univ. poultry research farm. Baking has always been my favorite type of cooking. So, when I got married 9 years ago, I was happy to have this simple yet delicious recipe-which originated with my aunt and was passed on to my mom. Now, with three small children (they're 6, 4, and 1), I need all the fast dishes I can find! It's great for a luncheon...or served with salad and rolls, for supper.

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.

Tips:
- It is best to use cooked chicken breast that is shredded or diced into small pieces. This will ensure that the chicken is evenly distributed throughout the salad and that it is cooked thoroughly. - When making the dressing, use mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard as the base. This combination of ingredients will create a creamy and flavorful dressing that will coat the chicken and vegetables well. - Add chopped celery, onion, and shredded carrots to the salad for a classic flavor combination. You can also add other vegetables, such as chopped green bell pepper, chopped red grapes, or chopped pecans. - Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or garlic powder, to add flavor. - Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It is best to serve the salad within 2 hours of making it, as the chicken and vegetables will start to wilt if they are left in the dressing for too long.Conclusion:
Hot chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can make a hot chicken salad that is flavorful, creamy, and packed with vegetables. Enjoy!
