• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 ½ cups sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 cup crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs (optional topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish.

1. Prepare the Chicken:

• If you haven’t already, cook and shred or dice your chicken breasts. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.

1. Mix the Casserole Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup (if using), sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen hashbrowns until everything is well coated with the creamy mixture.

1. Assemble the Casserole:

• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

1. Optional Topping:

• If you want a crunchy topping, mix the melted butter with the crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

1. Serve:

• Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired.

This Chicken and Hashbrown Casserole is a comforting and flavorful dish that’s sure to be a hit at the dinner table. Enjoy!
