Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups frozen hash browns (shredded)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cups bread crumbs (optional, for topping)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken, allow it to cool slightly, then shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Add the shredded chicken, frozen hash browns, chopped onion, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If using bread crumbs, mix them with the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the mixture on top of the casserole for a crispy topping.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken and Hash Browns Bake warm!
