Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
- 2 cans Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups Frozen shredded hash browns
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen mixed vegetables until evenly coated with the soup mixture.
Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating the first layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and vegetables to create the second layer.
Evenly spread the frozen hash browns on top of the cheese, creating the third layer.
Drizzle the melted butter over the hash browns to ensure they crisp up nicely during baking.
Top the hash brown layer with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Optionally, sprinkle paprika for added color.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the hotdish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting layered chicken hotdish with family or friends!
