Directions:

Lay chicken tenders one layer deep in a jelly roll pan. Bake in 400º preheated oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes. You do not need to turn them. Remove from oven and tent with foil until they are cool enough to handle.

With a wide spatula transfer several tenders at a time to cutting board, where it will be quick to slice them into cubes.

Toss lightly together one cup of the croutons, chicken, cheese, celery, almonds, onions and pepper. Add lemon juice and mayonnaise and toss.

Place in 9 x 13 inch casserole. Cover and bake at 350º for 45 miutes. Add rest of croutons on top. Bake uncovered 10 minutes longer.

If you use whole, boned and skinned chicken breasts, bake them at 400º for 20 minutes, turning once. Tent with foil and cool.


Croutons made with olive oil and herbs enhance this chicken salad.
