Three Rivers Cookbook 1st Edition... i am 25 and this is the best casserole I've ever had. I am from pittsburgh and my adaptation to this dish from the 3 rivers bible is use fresh sweet peppers with multi colors and the celery. The sweetness from the peppers balances the salt from the potato chips and savory mayo.

I didn't think this was all that great, flavorful or anything. It was edible. We finished the whole dish, but I would not make it again as it was not that thrilling. Not that this makes a huge difference, but it calls for a 9x13 and what I got from the listed ingredients in NO WAY was close to reaching the edges of the pan even after I SP-READ it out.

This looks delicious! Am I the only one whos appalled by people that leave nasty comments where theyre not welcome? I cant wait to make this and ENJOY it!! Right on Paula!!

My mother makes this but instead of using the almonds, she uses water chestnuts and instead of fresh lemon juice (because it's so much stronger) she uses Real Lemon (in the green bottles). She also uses finely chopped onions (About 1/2 cup frozen season blend or trinity), a can of cream of celery soup and a can of cream of chicken soup. She hasn't used cheese before but I might try it with cheese. It is SO yummy!!!

I didn't love the lemon - would make it again but without the lemon juice.

I have made your chicken pot pie recipe several times and I have to say, it's the only chicken pot pie I will eat. My husband is thrilled! He loves it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Wow... appalled? really? Good thing no one has a gun to your head forcing you to make it....

My question has already been asked-how do you serve this? But it resembles a crabmeat casserole my former mother-in-law used to make, so I'd say with grilled or steamed vegetables and/or low-fat dressing salad. Needs no more fat or carbos, that's for certain!
By Raejean French on July 28, 2012
Yes Karen, you are the only one appalled at the fat content. Nobody is claiming you should live off of this recipe every meal. Not EVERY recipe needs to be low fat, and this one certainly never claims to be. It's delicious though, thank you Paula!
By Dave on July 28, 2012
I'm I the only one that is appalled at all the fat in this recipe? 1 cup of mayo? Cheese? Potato chips? Sheesh! There is no need to spray the pan with oil, the casserole will be plenty oily and will not stick to the pan.

All i have to say is "YUMMYYYYY". So good. My kids loved it & so did i..

Love this recipe. Very easy and fun to make. I used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream and loved it. Had to use a smaller baking dish though. Next time I will try to double the recipe but less mayo to avoid the grease.

Hi Paula, Brad and I love watching your show and he loves it when I prepare one of your recipes. He prefers home made cookies to store brand. So I desided to make a couple of your cookie recipes for him and it was like watching a child at christmas time. I guess I better keep making cookies for him. I also like Bobby's recipes as well. We look for at all the e-mails we get read them. These are the recipes I have been looking for because I had not had no one really teach me how to make too many things but by watching you I am learning alot and that means the world to me. THANK YOU

Can you make the Hot Chicken Salad the day before, and cook the next day? I am making the recipe for our Quilt Guild Christmas luncheon on Thursday morning. Also, how do I cook the chicken breasts?
