What To Do
To prep, sauté onions, celery ,and mushrooms until soft and the mushroom liquid has been cooked off. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about ten minutes or so.
While the vegetables cool, pre-heat oven to 350°F with a middle rack available.
In a large glass bowl, mix together cooked vegetables, chicken, olives, and pecans. Pour the lemon juice over the mixture, add pepper to taste, and mix well. Add enough mayonnaise to coat the mixture evenly, and it holds together slightly.
Dump mixture into a 13” x 9” baking dish. Spread cream of chicken soup over the top.
Sprinkle crumbled Corn Flakes over the the entire surface. Bake at 350° for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is nice and crunchy and the soup and chicken mixture are bubbly throughout.

Notes and Talking Story
- My entire family in Hawaii loves this dish.
- However, full disclosure is my birdies and husband are not fond of it. "Looks like cat barf" may have been used to describe it on at least one occasion.
- The OG recipe put the onion and celery in raw, and used canned mushrooms. I have tweaked for more fresh vegetables, and pre-cooking. My husband eats this version now.
- I am very happy to have this for days as a leftover.
