Hot or Cold Chicken Salad image

My husband brought this recipe home after having it for lunch at a friends home. We discovered it was great hot or cold. My neighbors request this salad cold for our get-togethers.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
2 cups instant rice, prepared as directed
3 cups cooked chicken, diced (I use leftover rotisserie chicken)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (tops and bottoms)
8 ounces sliced water chestnuts
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup cashews
1 cup diced celery
2 ounces pimentos, diced (1/2 cup diced red bell pepper)
3/4 cup mayonnaise, I use light sometimes
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, I use fat-free (condensed)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix mayo, lemon juice, and lemon pepper. Pour over the other ingredients and mix together.
  • If salad seems dry add a little chicken stock to moisten.
  • If hot put into a 9X11 inch oblong dish. Bake for 45 minutes at 350°, this dish may be made one day ahead, uncovered.
