Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shredded hash browns (frozen)
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then cook for 6–8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest before shredding or chopping into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly to form a smooth sauce. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded hash browns, chopped chicken, and cheesy sauce. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
