A grandmother's creamy chicken and rice casserole, topped with cornflake crumbs and slivered almonds, is an easy, comforting weeknight meal that makes great leftovers, too.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup diced celery
3/4 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
4 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 cup cornflake crumbs
1/2 cup slivered almonds

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking dish with butter.
2 Stir chicken, soup, rice, celery, salad dressing, eggs, lemon juice, and onion together in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with cornflake crumbs.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with almonds and bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes longer.
