Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden on the outside but not fully cooked through. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Drain the potatoes and add them to the bowl, mixing to coat evenly.
Add the partially cooked chicken pieces to the bowl and gently fold everything together until well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
