    Ready in under an hour, this chicken bash brown casserole is full of cheesy goodness, plus sour cream and bacon, too!

    🍲 Storage

    To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)

    To Reheat: Microwave individual portions on high in 30 second intervals.

    To Freeze: Prepare the casserole and cover with aluminum foil. Be sure to label. Frozen casserole is good in the freezer for 3-4 months.

    To Thaw: Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.

    Tips

    Use slow cooker shredded chicken or grocery store rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time.

    ✏️ Make Ahead

    This easy casserole recipe can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge until you're ready to bake it.

    📖 Variations

    The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our easy chicken hashbrown casserole, you might want to try one of these ideas:

    • To make Buffalo Chicken Hashbrown Casserole, add buffalo wing sauce to the sour cream mixture.
    • Sprinkle a cup of corn flakes, bread crumbs, or crushed butter crackers on top of the casserole before baking for an added crunch.
    • Add chopped veggies to the dish like chopped onion or bell pepper. Mixed veggies like corn, carrots, peas or broccoli are a great addition also.
    • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of garlic powder to the sour cream mixture.
    • For the perfect side dish instead of main meal, leave the chicken out.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    Top individual servings with green onions and additional sour cream and bacon - afterall, it is a loaded casserole!

    My favorite side dish to serve with this is Garlic Green Beans, Broccoli, or a light salad. Add some rolls for a complete meal. This fruit salad is an easy side dish, too.

      As I am a Pescatarian I use Morningstar Veggie Bacon & Quorn Chicken alternative pieces in this recipe. Also, I like using a 5-Italian Cheese Blend of shredded cheeses in a lot of my recipes but kept to the Monterey & Sharp Cheddar for this one.

      I have a casserole similar to this with ham! I'd love to try it with chicken and especially the added ranch dressing. It really sounds so rich and creamy. Anything is better too with bacon added!

      Is it 2 cups total of cheeses or 2 cups of each kind of cheese? Thank you

        Hi Amber, you'll need 1 cup of each type of cheese, with a little of each reserved for the top of the casserole. Enjoy!
