I had the opportunity to host a Christmas luncheon for all of the teacher assistants in the preschool where I work. As I thought about a menu for these precious ladies using various local restaurants and caterers – nothing felt sufficient!
I wanted the meal to be extra special.
These women pour their lives out to serve the youngest, bringing joy and the Gospel to our preschooler’s hearts each day.
I decided they deserved a homemade meal.
The main course needed to be strong, so I thought of this incredible chicken stuffing casserole recipe that my mom always takes to people when they have a need.
- 5-6 cups cooked chicken, cut into chunks
- 2 cans sliced water chestnuts, chopped
- 2 cups celery, chopped
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
- 1 stick butter
- 1 small bag Pepperidge Farm Stuffing
- Slivered almonds
- Mix first 5 ingredients together. Place in a lightly sprayed 9 x13 baking dish.
- Melt the butter and mix with the stuffing.
- Sprinkle the stuffing mixture on top of the chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
It is super easy and super yummy!![](https://i0.wp.com/happyhomefairy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_7135-scaled.jpeg?resize=1920%2C2560&ssl=1)
This is my sweet assistant, Miss Sylvia. She is the absolute best to work with. She helped me plan the menu for this party!
If you are hosting a Christmas party this month, the rest of our menu is shared below.
It really was a beautiful and delicious feast with a variety of flavors.
