Hot Oriental Chicken Salad

I don't know if you have noticed but I do love to make things. I have come to realize though, that I like to bake, not cook. My DH, the Big Cheese, loves to cook and not bake. Guess we're a good match! Here is a recipe that I really like but haven't made for a long time. It was given to me by a friend many years ago.

Hot Oriental Chicken Salad
1 1/2 lbs. cooked chicken, shredded
1 1/2 cups celery
3/4 cup water chestnuts, sliced
1/2 cup French dressing
2 1/2 cups seedless grapes
2 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated
2 1/2 cups sour cream
1/8 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoons pepper
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
Chow Mein noodles

Mix together chicken, celery, water chestnuts and dressing. Add cheese and grapes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. Mix together the sour cream, flour, mustard, salt and pepper and add to chicken mixture. Mix till combined. Spoon into a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-35 minutes. Garnish with chow mein noodles or serve over chow mein noodles. Enjoy!
