- Y'all, casseroles, casseroles,
0:03
Southerners love casseroles, don't we?
0:08
And the thing I like about this particular casserole...
0:11
Well, I've made this one for years,
0:14
and it's always been a big hit.
0:16
It's a hot chicken salad casserole.
0:19
And the thing about this, y'all,
0:21
is you can actually bake this,
0:24
it would fit it my air fryer, in my large air fryer,
0:28
which would cut down on the heat in my kitchen,
0:31
which I'm all for, when I can do that.
0:37
It's so easy to put together.
0:38
And I recommend just picking up a roaster
0:45
from your grocery store, and use that chicken.
0:49
Of course, the chicken's always better
0:53
if you boil it yourself,
0:56
but the easy way is to pick up a roaster
1:01
that's already been roasted.
1:02
So, this is so, so, so easy.
1:07
I'm gonna start with a cup of mayonnaise.
1:13
One cup of mayonnaise.
1:18
And looks like about a cup of celery.
1:24
I love slivered almonds.
1:26
For some reason, the sliver cut makes it so much better.
1:31
Have y'all found that?
1:33
I just-- - Tastes better.
1:34
- It does! - And I'm not sure why.
1:36
- It doesn't taste like the same kind of nut.
1:40
And how much lemon juice is that, Theresa?
1:42
- [Theresa] Two tablespoons.
1:43
- Two tablespoons, okay.
1:45
Two tablespoons of lemon juice.
1:47
A cup of grated cheese.
1:53
So that's all the kinda wet things.
1:57
And we're just gon' stir that up.
2:02
And then we're gonna add our chicken.
2:07
Did that not call for any salt or pepper?
2:11
I just put it over there.
2:12
- Okay, well I'll just come over here
2:15
and do a little salt, a little pepper.
2:23
And just mix that up.
2:25
And then toss in our two cups of chicken.
2:31
And Theresa said, "That's not store-bought chicken,"
2:35
she said, "I boiled that off."
2:37
- [Theresa] I just want you to know.
2:39
I'm scared you'd call me out.
2:41
- (laughs) To me it is...
2:45
I just like boiling it myself, the whole chicken,
2:49
where you get the dark meat and the white,
2:51
and it's just so good.
2:55
Okay, so there we go, y'all.
2:57
We just gon' take our casserole dish and spray it.
3:03
And then we're just gonna pour this into our dish.
3:10
And it really depends on,
3:12
your cooking time, it depends on
3:14
if your chicken is real hot.
3:17
If the ingredients are starting off kinda hot,
3:23
then it won't take this long to bake.
3:27
But it says 350 for 15 minutes.
3:37
And here is the ingredient that makes this
3:41
so dadgum good, y'all.
3:43
And that's crushed potato chips.
3:50
They're gon' be so crunchy and so good.
3:54
And you know, I think I wouldn't might like
3:58
some more potato chips.
4:01
Don't you think, Theresa?
4:03
- [Theresa] I figured you would say that.
4:06
I don't know why I don't just double stuff like that.
4:18
That potato chip is gonna take it to another level, y'all.
4:25
So 15 minutes, just long enough
4:27
that it get hot and the cheese to melt.
4:32
No butt shots, Eddie.
4:39
All right, 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
4:42
This was so quick and easy, y'all.
4:45
And those potato chips, they just make it.
4:51
And I'm gon' slip out a taste.
4:59
Like I said, this has always been
5:04
a favorite of my family's.
5:13
- [Eddie] Henry wasn't crazy about pickled shrimp.
5:20
Michael, come taste this hot chicken salad.
5:29
Well good, it's all yours.
5:32
- Did you eat the good part?
5:36
It's hot though, it's hot.
5:40
- Mmm. - Isn't that delicious?
5:43
Would you like some more?
5:49
- Did you pick the celery out?
5:52
- No, but I think you did.
5:56
- Well I don't know how it got layin' over like that.
6:02
- Yeah, I'll take another scoop.
6:07
Yes, I love this particular casserole.
6:12
You know, I'm not really a casserole person.
6:16
But some casseroles I really love.
6:21
Ooh, I've got a corn casserole
6:23
that is so good it'll knock you into next week.
6:27
And you know which one I'm talkin' 'bout, don't you?
6:29
- No, it's been so long, I forgot.
6:34
We used to serve-- - What you call it,
6:37
- No, this is cream corn.
6:39
I'm fixin' to cook some cream corn.
6:42
No, this is with the Jiffy Mix.
6:44
- Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about.
6:45
- [Theresa] We've done that as a video.
6:47
- Yes, we've done it.
6:49
- [Theresa] So they should go look it up.
6:50
- Yes. - It would be awesome.
6:53
- That corn casserole is so good.
6:57
And I love squash casserole
7:02
and broccoli casserole.
7:05
I love vegetable casseroles.
7:09
But this is delicious.
7:10
And do you know what's on top of that, Michael?
7:17
- I thought I could trick him. (laughs)
7:20
So it's just that easy, y'all.
7:22
Hot chicken salad casserole.
7:26
It's a man-pleaser too, not just a kid-pleaser. (laughs)
7:32
Love and best dishes!
