Do you serve this over something or on its own?  Kinda reminds me of tuna on toast, except with chicken and no toast.

Sarah, you can serve it over toast and I've done that before,  but tonight I'm just cooking some instant rice and serving it over the rice.

I was thinking it would be good over rice.  And it's interesting to see that you've served it on toast before, I may have to try it that way also.

Sarah, when I fixed this for dinner last night I decided to cut the recipe in half and made a few changes.    I didn't have any celery salt so I diced up 1/4 cup of fresh celery and used that instead.  I also decided to add 1/3 cup of frozen peas for something different, and I thought it added a festive touch with the red pimientos.
