Chicken and rice casserole
This is a simple and very delicious recipe that my mother makes for me when I visit her.

All you need is :
2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1 medium onion peeled and diced
3 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 cans green beans,drained and rinsed
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 jar pimentos
1 can condensed cream of celery
1 cup mayonnaise
1 box long grain rice, cooked
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
pinch of salt

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 a bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Pour into a greased 3-quart casserole dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
