Description

A hearty casserole with tender chicken and creamy potatoes, covered in a cheesy sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 cup cooked, crumbled turkey bacon or chicken bacon
  • Optional: 1 cup broccoli florets or any favorite vegetable

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes, shredded chicken, and optional ingredients like cooked bacon or broccoli.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and potato mixture in the large bowl and fold together gently.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and sprinkling cheese and reserved green onions on top.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For healthier alternatives, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and swap potatoes with cauliflower for a lower-carb option.
