Hot Chicken Salad Casserole

" unbaked pie crust

cooked chicken diced. (Rotisserie chicken works great)

slivered almonds toasted in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Watch closely.

sweet yellow onion sauted in 1 Tablespoon olive oil & 1 Tablespoon butter until translucent.

celery diced sauted with the onion until translucent.

lemon juice 

mayonnaise

sour cream

cream of chicken soup or celery soup

small can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained, diced or sliced

teaspoon Parisien Bonnes Herbs (Penzeys Brand. It is a mix of chives, dill weed, French basil, French tarragon, chervil and white pepper.)

ground black pepper

smoked paprika, optional (You can use regular paprika, but smoked has a nice flavor.)

shredded cheese. Half cheddar + Half Gruyere combination works well. The gruyere is strong, so adjust if you have sensitive eaters by using less gruyere or substituting.
