My teenage son loved the casserole. It was so easy to put together. I will diffently make this again for my family!

I have been asked for this recipe each time I take it somewhere. It is so interesting to hear people ask what is the small crunchy "thing" ... water chesnuts and almonds all chopped very fine.

I tried to doctor this recipe with most of the recommendations, but it was still really bland. Sorry, won't make again.

My mom used to make this for us when I was a kid and it is miles better with ground beef a liitle garlic salt and extra crunchy noodles on top.

Neither me nor my son or husband liked it. I followed the recipe exactly.

My husband who does not like casseroles Loved this dish and insisted I make it every week. I read some of the reviews that said it was bland so I added 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice and mushrooms and added extra noodles on the top in the last 10 mins of cooking. I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone.

I enjoyed this recipe. With Surprise in the Title my husband was a little apprehensive. It was good, but not the best. The celery should be a definite ingredient as I think it helped the texture. The almonds were great in it also; maybe that's the surprise... :)

Very Good!!! Cooking the chicken in soy sauce really gave the dish a kick!

I made a good many changes to this recipe. First, I substituted cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom soup. I did use the optional chopped celery. I also added a 1/4 cup of soy sauce and some garlic powder. Since I like things crunchy, I used an additional can of the crunchy chow mein noodles on the top of the casserole during the last fifteen minutes of baking. Overall, I enjoyed this recipe. My husband liked it too.

I loved this one! I added cream of chicken soup and replaced the canned mushrooms with fresh button and left out the cheese, but it's our new favorite chicken dish! I passed this one on to my sister who is always looking for new ways to fix up chicken.

Don't get excited about this recipe.

To this recipe I added a can of bean sprouts, no condensed soup, no evaporated milk and no almonds, no mushrooms and no chinese noodles and added left over brown rice cooked in chicken broth with roasted garlic and cooked the chicken in soy sauce and garlic (3 cloves) like some suggested, forgot the celery because of time, and added leftover shredded cheese. I added a very small amount of sour cream to it < 1/4 cup.I also took one suggestion and added dry onion soup to the top, it was runny when I put it in the oven.I forgot it and when we came home almost 3 hrs. later it was a beautiful brown color on top and my husband loved it!!! I will definately make this again with what ingredients we can eat!!!

Yum, this was very good - I followed advice and tweaked it a little bit. I sauteed the chicken in garlic and soy sauce. Then I mixed together a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cream of asparagus soup (all I had in the cabinet). I kept everything else the same and put the crunchy noodles on top. I guess the asparagus soup added the zip it needed cause I got rave reviews on this one - I'll make it again.

bland and boring.

This recipe was really good. I browned the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. I would suggest putting the chinese noodles on top of the casserole instead of mixed in. They stay crunchy that way.

a big hit at the potluck, had requests for the recipe. it seemed a little dry, so added additional can of mushroom soup & 1/2 can milk.

This was a very easy recipe, when short on time. I thought it was very good, just a tad bland. Needs some kick.

The recipe was good but was quite bland for my taste.
