directions

1. **I microwaved the celery a couple of minutes to slightly soften or you can saute in a little butter, to soften; otherwise will be quite crunchy. Mix chicken, celery, onion, mayonnaise, almonds, lemon juice and one cup cheese in a bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper; transfer to a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan; spread out evenly.
2. Top with remaining cheese and chips.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 450 for 15-20 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
