Crunchy Chicken Casserole. My 96-year-old mother wanted me to share her favorite recipe with Reminisce readers. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family … The water chestnuts and sliced almonds gives this dish a nice “crunch”. I cook the chicken and rice the day before I plan to serve. Then the next day, I just throw it …

1 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1-1/2 cups cooked rice

1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts; drained
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons chopped onion
Salt and pepper to taste
TOPPING:
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
