Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium casserole dish, mix together the chicken, mayonnaise, chopped celery, water chestnuts, almonds, pimento peppers, dried onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Spread the mixture out evenly, then sprinkle a generous layer of Cheddar cheese on top. Finish it off with a handful of French fried onions for a nice crunch. Pop the dish into the oven and bake until it’s hot and bubbly—this usually takes about 30 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving so the flavors can settle.
