Cashew Chicken Casserole

My Grandma Smith’s recipes, one of our families favories and ULTRA comfort food. If you like macaroni and cheese, you will defiantly love this!

1 lb. chicken breasts
3 green onions
3 celery tops
2 cups water
¼ lb. cheddar cheese (about 1 cup) shredded
½ cup cashews
1 ½ cup macaroni (before cooking)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup Cheese-It’s, crushed (last time I used the Kashi Cheddar Crackers and they were good too)

Cook chicken, onion and celery tops in water until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth and reserve the strained broth. Chunk the chicken. Cook macaroni to almost tender. Reserve broth while draining and add chicken to greased 2 qt. casserole or 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle cheese on top of macaroni. Add chicken and cashews. Mix soups with 2/3 cup of the reserved chicken broth and pour on top of the cashews. Top with crushed crackers. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
