Hot Chicken Salad

Buying a rotisserie chicken will save you a lot of time in the kitchen! I can normally find one for less money than it would cost to buy a pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Just bring it home, pick the meat off the bone, use what you need, and save the rest for sandwiches or a little snack later.
Enjoy! ~Allison Y.

Hot Chicken Salad
Adapted from Paula's Home Cooking

Ingredients:
2 - 3 cups shredded chicken (see note above)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t onion powder
1/8 t red pepper
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup crushed potato chips (I used Parmesan & Garlic Kettle Chips.)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a small baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients except potato chips (chicken, almonds, salt, pepper, onion powder, red pepper, lemon juice, mayo, and cheese). Place mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle potato chips over the top. Bake for 20 minutes.

I served this with white rice and green beans. It was a big hit with my hubby!
