Directions
Warm your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a casserole dish about 2 quarts in size, mix together the chicken, mayonnaise, celery, water chestnuts, almonds, pimento peppers, dried onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Sprinkle the top with shredded Cheddar cheese, then add a generous layer of French fried onions. Pop it in the oven and bake for around 30 minutes, or until the dish is warmed through and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!
Serving Options
Serve with steamed rice or warm flatbreads to balance the spiciness. A side of cooling yogurt or cucumber salad complements the heat nicely. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
Reheating And Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to preserve the flavors. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the chicken may change.
