Hot Chicken Salad

6 c. cooked chicken, cut up
5 c. chopped celery
1 c. slivered almonds
2 tsp salt
3 1/4 c. mayo
1 bottle pimento
2 T grated onion
2 c. crushed potato chips
1 c. grated cheese
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/3 tsp pepper

Mix everything but the potato chips together and place in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle chips on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Feeds 12-15 people. This is the meal my Mom and I make every year for the Junior Miss luncheon with the judges. It is really delicious, but takes a little bit of time to make. The pinento's add color, but I'm not sure if there is any flavor value--I wouldn't make this without them. We serve it with a roll and green salad with strawberries, nuts and poppyseed dressing. We then serve a chocolate dessert with whipcream and a cherry on top! Everyone raves about it!
