Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease two large baking dishes or roasting pans.

2. In a very large bowl, gently mix the cooked chicken pieces, chopped celery, diced green onion, toasted almonds, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared dishes.

4. Sprinkle the crushed potato chip crumbs evenly over the top, then scatter the shredded Cheddar cheese over the crumbs.

5. Bake uncovered for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is hot, the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Let the bake rest for about 10 minutes before serving so it sets slightly and is easier to portion.
