Simple, delicious and easy. I only made one slight modification. As one that loves the "crunch" texture, I used almost another whole cup of corn flakes for the topping. The topping came out golden brown and was a nice counterpoint to the casserole underneath. We probably won't see this recipe on "The Food Channel," but for ease of preparation, reasonably priced, quick and still tasty - give it a try. I'm betting you will like it.

Maybe "best ever" is an exaggeration. It was okay for me, but too rich and bland. I thought it needed more flavor and less fat. My husband ate it but didn't ask for seconds and my children didn't like it at all. I don't think I'll try it again. Sorry.

I found this recipe good, but I wasn't blown away. I am still undecided about the water chestnuts (which I chose to chop before putting them in). They were a bit too crunchy for me. I would have preferred celery for a bit of crunch. But then again, my kids (6 and 4) hate seeing anything green in their food and so they liked it better this way. Also, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to drain the chestnuts. I did, but then added in some of the liquid so the mix wasn't so dry. I liked the cornflake crumbs in the mix. It gave it a nice texture. For the topping I did what I always do and mixed the crumbs with some melted margarine or butter. This way the topping bakes and isn't just dry on top. I left the lid on and just pulled it off near the end to brown the topping a bit, but really I think I could have left it on for the entire cooking time. Overall I found the recipe wonderfully easy to make and would rate it a bit above good.

We didn't like the corn flakes on them. It was very dry and crunchy with little flavor.

This was very similar to a hot chicken salad recipe that I have. I added frozen veggies and a little white wine. Excellent flavor. My family like it. Thanks Mary.

This recipe was great. It reminded me of hot chicken salad. I substituted slivered almonds for the water chestnuts. We will definately have again.

This has a pretty good taste, but it is VERY GREASY. Could be that I followed someone elses' suggestion of adding 1 cup of cheese (though I used non-dairy cheese) though. The flavor is good but if you are on a diet, avoid this one!

This recipe was a hit with my me and my husband. There were barely any leftovers! I did read through the reviews before preparing this recipe, and decided to cut the mayonnaise to 1/2 cup, and added 1/2 cup of sour cream. I added some red pepper flakes, half of a minced jalepeno, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of monterry jack cheese, some fresh ground pepper, some garlic salt, and used cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken soup. I served the casserole with a ceasar salad and bread. My husband barely left me any for lunch the next day!

Was great! I used cheese flavored crackers instead of the corn flakes. I worried that it would be very 'soupy' the first time I read the recipe but wasnt at all. I've made this several times (I now always double it)& is always a big hit.

I love this casserole! Some have labeled it "bland", but I find that for my family with three young children it's great. A friend brought this casserole to me 5 years ago after the birth of my first child and I was thrilled to find the recipe on Allrecipes.com. I find myself often taking it when a meal is needed for a new mom...I add some grated carrots, and it's perfect for a nursing mom who needs some "comfort food".

I made this casserole following the recipe exactly. It tasted good but was a bit bland. I think next time I will try adding the cheddar cheese as another reviewer suggested and top it with almonds instead of corn flakes. It is a very easy recipe to make.

Excellent! I made the following changes, as recommended by other reviewers: Added 1 C shredded cheddar cheese, used Ritz crackers instead of flakes, and used mushroom soup instead of chicken. Also, I only cooked it for 50 minutes and that was perfect. I thought the soup and onion gave it a lot of flavor. The cheese added a nice texture. Next time I plan to skip the water chestnuts, and add some sliced almond.

Substituted Cream of Mushroom with roasted garlic and added about 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and it was superb! Served it at a party and everyone loved it!

This is definitely an EASY recipe to throw together, but my family didn't care for the mayo...I will try again with a different base, possibly more soup or some sour cream.

This is an awesome and easy casserole!! Made a few changes, which made it go farther (big eating family). Based on the complaint that there was too much mayo, rather than reduce that ingrediant, I added apprx 6-8oz cooked macaroni noodles and increased the cornflakes to 1 1/2 cups (1 cup into the mix and 1/2 cup for the topping). I also added 1/2 cup diced celery, 1 4oz jar diced pimentos for color and spinkled in some shredded cheddar cheese over all. All else was left the same. Not dry, perfect amt of "creamy" and very tasty and filling. Thanks for the new casserole idea Mary!

So easy! I have sauted the breasts, used canned chicken, and have also used the already cooked kind in the grocery when short on time. It is easy to put togeather and tastes great.
