Here's one I grew up on. My mom use to use canned tuna fish, but I changed it when I moved out on my own to canned chicken breast.

Chicken Casserole
Ingredients
1 large bag of regular or unsalted potato chips (crushed)
1 large can of chicken breast (I use Tyson, Sweet Sue or Valley Fresh)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 to 2 soup cans of milk
1/2 to 3/4 cup peas (I use frozen)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients; blend well.
Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish; cover and bake for about 30 minutes. I like to then take the lid off and let bake for 5 to 10 minutes more to brown the top. My husband insist on having jellied cranberry sauce with this casserole.
Serves 6-8 people
