🧀 What Is Chicken Hashbrown Casserole?

This dish combines cooked chicken with frozen hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheese, and seasonings, all baked into a golden, bubbly casserole. It’s often topped with a crunchy layer of cornflakes or extra cheese for added texture and flavor.

📝 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for a standard 9×13-inch baking dish:

Main Casserole:

• 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1 (30 oz) bag frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste

Optional Topping:

• 1 ½ cups cornflakes, crushed
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.

Step 2: Cook and Prepare the Chicken

Use rotisserie chicken, leftover cooked chicken, or poach fresh chicken breasts. Once cooled, shred or dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.

Tip: Rotisserie chicken adds extra flavor with less prep time.

Step 3: Mix the Casserole Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• Cream of chicken soup
• Sour cream
• Melted butter
• Garlic powder
• Pepper
• Salt (only if needed, since the soup and cheese are already salty)
• Finely chopped onion (optional for extra flavor)

Stir until smooth.
