1 can cream of chicken soup

1 4-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and sliced

1 4-ounce can mushrooms, drained and sliced

2/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup slivered almonds

2-4 Tbsp melted butter

Separate rolls into rectangles and place on top of chicken mixture. Combine cheese, almonds and butter and sprinkle evenly over dough. Put in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Bake until a deep brown. Serves 6-8.
