Cheddar Chicken Casserole

I went to my friend's bridal shower about a month ago, and the girl hosting the shower made a really good chicken salad that was served on croissants. I finally got around to emailing her for the recipe and made it the other night. You can either serve it as chicken salad on bread or as a casserole since it's baked in the oven. Either way, it's delicious!

1/4 cup chopped onion

8 oz. shredded cheese (cheddar or swiss)

1/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and transfer to a large casserole dish coated with cooking spray or butter, top with almonds.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. It keeps well in a warm oven.
