Crunchy Hot Chicken Salad

This recipe comes from Joanna.  She said this is a good meal to take to someone as a meal because it is just good 'ole comfort food.  Well, I added the "good 'ole comfort food" part because that's just how I talk.  I made this for Bible study, but I also made a little mini pan for myself because I wanted to taste a little beforehand. Delicious!

-3 cups cooked chicken, deboned, skinned & chopped (I like to use more chicken because Bart likes things "meaty")
-1 can cream of chicken soup
-1 cup water chestnuts, sliced (I usually leave these out)
-2/3 cup mayo
-1/2 cup chopped celery
-1/2 cup chopped onion
-1/2 cup sour cream
-1 8oz can crescent rolls (get pillsbury over generic -- they separate easier)
-2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-1/2 cup almonds, thinly sliced
-3 tbsp butter, melted

combine chicken, soup, water chestnuts, mayo, celery, onion & sour cream. Pour into ungreased baking or casserole dish. Separate crescent rolls & lay over chicken mixture. sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Mix almonds & melted butter & sprinkle on top of cheese. Bake covered at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes

Christina McClain made something similar for us after we had Caleb. The only difference was crushed potato chips on top instead of rolls (and no cheese for Adam, of course) Definitely "good ol' comfort food" :)
