Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, diced onion, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the frozen shredded hash browns, ensuring they are fully coated with the mixture.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
If using the optional topping, mix the crushed cornflakes with 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
