Ingredients 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 to 4 (1 pound) Gold'n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup salted cashews
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, undrained
1 jar (4 1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, undrained
1 package (6 ounces) chow mein noodles

Instructions 

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 13” x 9” baking pan with cooking spray.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked. Transfer chicken to a plate. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

Whisk together soups and milk in same skillet. Stir in the celery, onion, cashews, water chestnuts (with liquid), mushrooms (with liquid), and cooked chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until warm.

Sprinkle half the chow mein noodles in the prepared baking pan. Spoon chicken mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining chow mein noodles.

Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly.
