“Chinese-style ingredients like almonds, water chestnuts, mushrooms, celery and chow mein noodles combine with a creamy broth, soup and milk mixture - and chicken, of course - to form this casserole. The name comes from the fact that people who have it seem to be pleasantly surprised and wonder what is in it. This is a good recipe for potlucks, etc., as it can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until ready to bake.” - by Pat

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, combine the chicken, broth, soup, milk, almonds, mushroom pieces, water chestnuts, noodles, cheese and celery (if using). Mix well and make sure mixture is spread evenly in the dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.

"My husband really liked this casserole. I thought it was just "ok". I did doctor up the recipe, because I like more vegetables in my casseroles. I added green pepper, onion, mushrooms, garlic, ging..." See moreer. I also sauteed the chicken in soy sauce. I try to watch calories, and adding chow mein noodles adds a lot of fat. They just turned soggy anyway, so those extra calories weren't worth it."
