When you need to feed a crowd and you need everyone coming back for seconds, this is the casserole that gets the job done.

10 cups of diced chicken tossed with celery, green onions, green chiles, sliced olives, and slivered almonds. Bound together with mayo, sour cream, and a mountain of shredded cheddar. Topped with crushed potato chips and more cheese.

Two pans go into the oven. Twenty-five minutes later you’ve got bubbly, golden, slightly crunchy-on-top comfort food for 24 people.

This is reunion food. Team dinner food. “We need to bring something and it better be good” food.

Pro Tips

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a huge time saver. Three to four birds should get you to 10 cups diced
  • Crush the potato chips right in the bag so you don’t lose half of them to the counter
  • The green chiles add a mild heat. If your crowd can handle it, toss in a diced jalapeno too
  • Assemble the night before and refrigerate. Add the chip topping right before baking so it stays crunchy
