Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Generously spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (1 minute)

03

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Spread the thawed potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Season generously with salt and pepper. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Distribute the shredded cooked chicken evenly over the potatoes. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the mixture is hot and bubbling. (40 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. (1 minute)

09

Step

Return the uncovered casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before garnishing with crumbled bacon and fresh chives or green onion. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the soup mixture.
Feel free to substitute the Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese with your favorite cheese blend. Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a sharp provolone would all be delicious.
If you don't have frozen hash browns on hand, you can use freshly shredded potatoes. Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture before adding them to the dish.
