Gert'S Chicken Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. chow mein noodles (2 if using rice; set aside 1/2 c. noodles)
3 c. chopped, cooked chicken
3 c. cooked rice
3 boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 c. chopped celery
1 can mushroom soup
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 to 2 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. chopped onion
10 oz. box frozen peas
1 stick oleo
1 can water chestnuts

Preparation

I use boned chicken breasts and cook in the stick of oleo in a skillet.
Mix the other ingredients and add to chicken and bake at 350\u00b0 for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and add 1/2 cup chow mein noodles on top.
Water chestnuts are optional but they give the casserole a nice \"crunch.\" Serves 10 to 12.
