I thought this recipe was alright. My family really liked it. Next time I think I will cook the onions with the chicken. (I'm not a fan of crunchy onions.)I also followed others advise and cut back on mayo.

Very nice and easy. I use low-fat mayo, low-fat sour cream and sometimes low-fat yogurt all combined. I also add mushrooms and celery to give it some more hidden veggies that the kids will eat! I also use low-fat Keebler Club crackers instead of cornflakes sometimes, and really, no matter how you do this, it always turns out good. You can cut down a lot on the calories and fat by using the low-fat products intead, and when it's in a casserole like this, you can't even tell. Yum!

Although this isn't on my top ten recipes list, I give it five stars because it is a really family friendly meal that is simple to prepare (perfect for a busy mom like me).

This was just "alright". It needs more flavor and less oil from mayo. I think if I were to ever fix this again, I'll add some spices and cut the mayo in half and add sour cream like others have suggested. Although it gets an extra point for being a relatively easy weeknight dinner.

I felt this recipe was anything but the best. My family didn't care for it. Sorry.

It was great!! The only thing I changed I added to cans of cream of chicken and 2 cups of corn flakes. I used one cup into the meal and then the other cup of crushed corn flakes I sprinkled on top. Also my husband topped his off with a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning.

I was a little hesitant to make this but because of the name I had too and was very suprised how good it was. My husband and I thought it would be good with peas added next time. It's also very easy to make.

No offense to the submitter, and maybe I did something wrong (I did use light mayo and soup), but this smelled like dog food. I tried it twice ~ the first time the corn flake crumbs were old, so I thought that was it. I bought brand new ones, and as soon as the mayo mixed with the crumbs, it smelled horrible. It tasted a little better than it smelled, but not much.

Very good recipe. Made some modifications...substituted a bag of frozen veggies (broccoli, red peppers, corn, black beans) for the chestnuts, added some spices and used light mayo. Kids loved it, and husband thought it was good and different.

This recipe is good, but if you substitute the mayonnaise with fat-free sour cream, add 2-3 cups of cooked rice and a 1/2 cup of celery, it's a great recipe.

This casserole was "ok" definitely not Best Ever. Although my family liked it, I thought it was way too greasy and the consistency was not appetizing. Maybe using light or fat free mayo would help.

I made the following changes to the recipe and it definitely tasted better: - add 3 or 4 heads of broccoli (chopped) - add 6 or 7 stalks of celery (chopped) - add about 18 mini carrots (chopped) - only 3\4 cup of fat free mayo (less oily) I think in retrospect I would have chopped up the water chestnuts into eighths, not fourths. Their unique texture seemed to be a bit of a distraction and you keep thinking "what was that I just bit into?" You may just want to leave them out completely because in my opinion they don't add all that much to the overall taste. I put only a thin layer of corn flakes on top, but I would have liked it to be even more crunchy. You might also consider cooking the vegetables before adding them to the mix (though I only cooked the mix for 45 minutes, so another 15 might have softened them up a bit more). Overall quite tasty, but obviously the more things you add to it, the longer it takes to make.

My Husband and I have had this a few times now. Very easy to make - We both liked it and my husband does not usually care for casseroles. I like the added crunch of the water chestnuts.I just think it needs flavor - maybe garlic ? Thank you for sharing your recipe, Mary
