Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 10×14-inch baking pan and sprinkle 2/3 of the bread crumbs evenly on the bottom.
-
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken (diced), mushrooms (sliced), celery (chopped), onion (finely chopped), lemon juice, and Miracle Whip. Mix well until evenly combined.
-
Layer the Ingredients: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the layer of bread crumbs in the baking pan.
-
Add Cheese and Remaining Bread Crumbs: Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture. Then, evenly distribute the remaining 1/3 of the bread crumbs on top of the cheese layer.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, chicken broth, cream of celery soup, chopped celery, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Pour Over the Fillings: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered fillings in the baking pan, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
-
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to set.
-
Prep for Baking: The next day, take the dish out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
-
Spread Mushroom Soup: Spread the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the top of the mixture in the baking pan.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until the souffle is set and the top is golden brown.
-
Add Buttered Crumbs: After 1 hour of baking, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs over the top. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, allow the Chicken Souffle to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious dish with your favorite sides or as part of a brunch spread!
