My mother-in-law gave me this recipe many years ago and said it was great for pot lucks as even men really liked it. She was right.

Step-by-Step

Combine soup and mayonnaise. Stir in chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms, celery and onions until well blended.
Pour into three quart casserole dish.
Top with 3/4 to 1 full package of cornbread stuffing mix and spread even.y over top. (Pepperidge Farms is really good if you can find it.) Drizzle 1/4 cup melted butter over the stuffing mix.

This reheats (or freezes and then reheats) really well.
