*Chicken Supreme Casserole

* This is my personal recipe.  I honestly just threw it together on a whim one night and it was quite delicious!

1 lb chicken, cooked and shredded

1 can cream of mushroom soup w/roasted garlic

½ c. mayonnaise

¾ c. chopped onion

¾ c. chopped celery

¼ c. chopped green pepper

8 oz. can sliced water chestnuts, chopped

1 stick unsalted butter

½ c. grated cheddar cheese

¼ cup Italian bread crumbs

½ c. plain bread crumbs

⅓ c. French fried onions

Boil chicken breast in lightly salted water with a couple dashes of poultry seasoning. While the chicken is cooking, chop up onion, celery, bell pepper and water chestnuts. 

Sauté the vegetables in 4 tablespoons of butter until tender. 

When the chicken is done, take two forks and shred it up into small pieces (like you would for chicken salad). Add the cooked vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, and mayonnaise and stir well. 

Mix together the cheese, bread crumbs, and French fried onions in a bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the chicken mixture. Cut up the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and scatter across the top. Bake covered at 350° for 25 minutes, then remove the cover and cook another 10 minutes or until the top is brown.
