For years, I wondered what happened to this recipe. Mom was just crazy about it, but I never wrote it down. I wondered if I would ever be able to come across it again, then just a few days ago, I found her old Women's Club cookbook, and there it was! This recipe is at least 50 to 60 years old, and isn't exactly diet friendly, but it is very good. The flavor is incredible. It's a warm and comforting, creamy and crunchy casserole filled with chicken, water chestnuts celery and almonds, and topped with crunchy crushed potato chips and sharp cheddar cheese. Delish!
