    Chicken Casserole II

    My friend gave me this recipe and it is great especially for college students like myself.

    Cook chicken then cut it into bite size cubes. Chop celery sticks into bite size cubes, and mix the chicken and celery cubes with a cup of mayonnaise and a cup of shredded cheddar cheese (you will probably use more then a cup for a couple servings). Place the mixture into a baking pan and put another thin layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top and crumble a bag of potato chips and put them on top. bake in the oven at 350 until the cheese is melted! Then you are ready to eat.
