Directions
Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a big bowl, toss together the chicken, celery, almonds, bell pepper, onion, pimento, salt, lemon juice, and mayonnaise until everything is well coated. Transfer the mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, then add a layer of crushed potato chips for a nice crunchy finish. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool a bit before serving, and enjoy!
