Chicken Hashbrown Casserole

Chicken Hashbrown Casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that combines chicken, hashbrowns, cheese, and a creamy sauce. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 (30 oz) package frozen hashbrowns, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Hashbrowns: If your hashbrowns are frozen, thaw them according to the package instructions. You can speed up the process by microwaving them for a few minutes. Once thawed, press them between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, and diced bell pepper.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, condensed cream of chicken soup, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

  • Combine the Mixture: Pour the sauce mixture over the hashbrown and chicken mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Transfer to Casserole Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Transfer the hashbrown and chicken mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
  • Optional Topping: If you want a crispy topping, combine the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  • Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
  • Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, if desired.

  • Enjoy: Serve your Chicken Hashbrown Casserole hot and enjoy your delicious meal!

This casserole is a comforting and satisfying dish that’s perfect for a family dinner or potluck. Feel free to customize it by adding your favorite seasonings, vegetables, or toppings.
