I found this one day and have been making it ever since. Everyone loves it and it's so easy. Hope you enjoy it too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Celery, onions, and water chestnuts are combined with chicken and rice to create a hearty casserole. Water chestnuts and almonds add a nutty flavor and texture. Cheese mixed in with the other ingredients, it makes the chicken casserole nice and gooey once baked. Crushed cornflakes combined with melted butter are sprinkled on top. They add a nice crunch to every bite.
