Your basic chicken salad sandwiched between layers of toast, then smothered with a mayonnaise cream sauce and topped with golden Cheddar. This needs to refrigerate for several hours prior to baking, so do plan ahead.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 12 slices white bread, lightly toasted
- 4 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
PREPARATION:
Place 6 slices of the toasted bread in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken, celery and onion on top of the bread, then cover with the other 6 slices of toasted bread.
In a medium bowl mix together the beaten eggs, mayonnaise, milk and salt and pepper to taste. Pour this mixture over the sandwiches, then top with soup; cover baking dish and refrigerate overnight.
