Chicken Hashbrown Casserole Recipe

This Cheesy Chicken Hash Brown Casserole Recipe is one of the best casseroles I have ever tried. It is loaded with cheesy hashbrowns and lots of yummy chicken.

It is so good and my family just loves when I make this. I steam broccoli in the microwave, Grilled Green Beans and Foil Pack Grilled Potatoes for an easy side dish.

My family request this meal so much that it is on rotation with Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, Chicken Green Bean Casserole and the no peek chicken and rice recipe! These recipes are all delicious oven baked recipes.

Is dinner time crazy at your house? Whew! It can be hectic around here for sure! This is the perfect recipe for busy days of work and sports and activities. Just make it ahead and bake it when you get home. Dinner will be a breeze. It also freezes well.

Recipe Tips

• Baking Dish – This recipe is perfect in a 9×13 casserole dish. The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere. I use the disposable pans for the one I put in the freezer.
• Combining Ingredients – Make sure to combine the ingredients to ensure that everything is fully mixed together.
• Rest Casserole – After baking the casserole, allow it to rest before serving.

Variation Ideas

• Vegetables – Add steamed mixed veggies, chopped broccoli, onions, peas, shredded carrots, red bell peppers or slice mushroom to the casserole mixture. This is a great casserole to sneak in veggies.
• Southwest Flavor – Add in 1 cup of corn, 1 can of green chiles, and swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack cheese for a tasty twist.
• Crackers – Feel free to substitute the cereal with crushed Ritz Crackers.
• Casserole Toppings – Top the casserole with chopped bacon and slice jalapeño’s for delicious flavor.
• Spices – We have even added in different spices for even more flavor. Add 2 tbsp of ranch seasoning, or 1 teaspoon of paprika and garlic powder.
