Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup cornflakes cereal crumbs
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook chicken in boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each breast should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain, then cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Bake casserole in the preheated oven until heated through and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Mix together chicken pieces, onion, condensed soup, water chestnuts, mayonnaise, and most of the cornflake crumbs in a large bowl until well combined. Pour into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining cornflake crumbs.
