Submitted by Teresa Ness Boil either 3 chicken breasts or a cut up fryer. Cover with water and bring to boil. Skim off scum. Add half an onion and some tops of celery or a whole stick cut up, a garlic clove and salt and pepper. Cook at least 1 hour. Remove chicken from bones and shred or cut up. Broth can be saved for soup or other recipes. Note: Turkey or tuna can be substituted for chicken. If substituting tuna, use 18 oz. of solid white tuna (one large can and one small can). In large casserole mix together: Chicken (or Turkey or Tuna, if substituting) 1 c. sliced celery ½ c. Miracle whip 1 small can sliced ripe olives 1 c. shredded sharp cheese ½ c. grated onion 1 can cream of chicken soup ½ c. chopped green pepper 1 c. milk 1 small jar pimento 2 cups chopped chicken (or more) 1 - 10 oz can of sliced mushrooms 6 oz. Egg noodles (cooked) Salt, Pepper and Dill (2 tbs.) optional Topping: Croutons Sliced almonds Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Top with croutons and sliced almonds. Bake uncovered 15 minutes. Serves about 8 people. I put it in 2 casseroles and freeze one unbaked. That is enough for twice for 2 people.
