HOT CHICKEN SALAD 
3 c. cooked chicken or turkey, cubed
2 c. celery, chopped
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 c. mayonnaise
1/4 c. chopped pimento
1 c. almonds (chunks better than sliced)
1 1/2 c. crushed potato chips
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

Place cubed chicken in a 10-inch casserole. Combine celery, green pepper and onion in a 2-cup glass measure. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at HIGH 2 to 3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain, if necessary.

Stir cooked celery mixture, salt, pepper, lemon juice, mayonnaise, pimento and almonds into the chicken. Top with potato chips and Cheddar cheese. Microwave at HIGH 5 to 6 minutes. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
