9 slices white bread
5 c. cooked chicken, cut up
2 (4 oz.) cans mushroom pieces, drained
2 cans water chestnuts, drained and sliced
1/2 c. mayonnaise
9 slices Cheddar cheese
4 eggs, plus 2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
Buttered bread crumbs

Cut crusts from bread, save crust for crumbs. Lay bread in large flat, 9 x 13 inch flat casserole. Layer in casserole over bread: chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts, spread mayonnaise over layers. Mix together eggs, milk, salt and soups. Spoon over layers. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, uncovered. Remove from oven and cover with buttered bread crumbs. Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes, until crumbs are brown.
