## **How to Make Amish Holiday Hero**

### **Step 1: Prepare the Base**
1. Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)** and lightly grease a baking dish (a 9×13-inch dish works well).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the **cooked chicken**, **mashed potatoes**, **diced celery**, and **chopped onion**. Stir to combine these ingredients until evenly distributed.
3. Add the **shredded cheddar cheese**, **cream of chicken soup**, and **sour cream** to the bowl. Sprinkle in the **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, and season with **salt** and **pepper** to taste. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well-coated and combined.

### **Step 2: Transfer to Baking Dish**
1. Spoon the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the surface.
2. Drizzle the **melted butter** over the top of the casserole to add richness and a golden finish.

### **Step 3: Add the Crunchy Topping**
1. In a small bowl, mix the **crushed cornflakes** with a tablespoon of melted butter. This will create a crunchy, golden topping for your casserole.
2. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole, covering the entire surface for that perfect crispy finish.

**Step 4: Bake and Serve**
1. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about **30-35 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
2. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of **chopped parsley** if desired for a fresh pop of color.
