Hashbrown Chicken Casserole is more than just a comforting meal; it’s a cherished family favorite that brings warmth and satisfaction to the dinner table. This hearty dish combines tender pieces of chicken, crispy hashbrowns, and a creamy, cheesy sauce that melds together into a delicious, baked delight.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, diced onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the chicken and hashbrown mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes (or potato chips) with the melted butter and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Once baked, let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
