This is a delicious chicken casserole recipe that your whole family will love. We have received rave reviews over the years from everyone who has tried this delicious chicken casserole recipe.  It is honestly one of the best we have tasted.

The chicken and crescent almandine recipe brings together a delicious blend of flavors and textures for a completely self-contained meal that your guests will be talking about for weeks to come.

3 Cups cooked chicken breast (cut into small pieces)
1 (10 ¾ oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts, drained and sliced
2/3 can mushrooms, stems and pieces
2/3 Cup Miracle Whip salad dressing
½ Cup chopped celery
½ Cup chopped onion
½ Cup sour cream
1 (8 oz) can refrigerator crescent dinner rolls
2/3 Cup (3 oz) shredded Swiss cheese
½ Cup slivered or sliced almonds
2-4 Tbsp. butter, melted

In a large saucepan, combine first 8 ingredients. Cook over medium heat until mixture is hot and bubbly. Pour into an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish (pyrex is best). Separate crescent dough into 2 rectangles and place over hot chicken mixture until well covered. This will form a delicious baked crust.  Combine remaining three ingredients (cheese, almonds, and melted butter) in a bowl and spread evenly over dough.  Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until curst is golden brown.

Enjoy!  This delicious chicken recipe doesn’t require a lot in the way of side dishes. Perhaps some fruit, salad, jello salad, etc.  Try our tossed salad with dried cranberries. Also good with a loaf of French bread warmed in foil in the oven alongside the pan of casserole as it bakes.
