Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed mushrooms, frozen hash browns, heavy cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
