Got this off of the Food Network. I threw it together already since i wasnt sure how long it would take to make. Will put any changes/addtions I made at the bottom. I have this in the fridge right now. Will give an update as to how it came out.

2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
3 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans green beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (4-ounce) jar pimentos
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (6-ounce) box long-grain wild rice, cooked according to package directions
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
Pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat butter or oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.

Add all remaining ingredients to bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined.

Pour into a greased 3-quart casserole dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Chicken: boiled three chicken breasts in water with chicken boulion, onion powder and garlic powder.
Rice: I used white rice since that is all I had on hand. Also used the leftover water from cooking the chicken breast to cook the rice in.
Cream of celery soup-made from scratch, also used the water from cooking the chicken, added 1/2 teaspoon more boulion. *posted soup recipe*
water chestnuts and pimentos-did not have, but i know my family would not eat them.
green beans-one can was plenty for us.

Everyone liked it. It was very good. I was worried that since I put it together and didnt cook it right away that it may dry out, but it didnt. I will make this again.
