Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 16 oz cooked chicken breast shredded (rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut here!)
  • 20 oz bag shredded hashbrowns in the refrigerated section
  • 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup Pacific Foods cream of chicken soup is gluten-free
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 ¾ cups low-fat sharp cheddar cheese I used sharp white cheddar freshly shredded from the block
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted
  • olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. , and spray a 9x13 or 2 qt baking dish with non-stick olive oil spray. 
  • Combine shredded chicken, hashbrowns, soup, sour cream, chicken stock, cheeses, and spices in a large bowl.
  • Mix the melted butter and gluten-free panko in a separate bowl. 
  • Spread the chicken mixture in an even layer in the casserole dish, and then sprinkle the panko mixture evenly on top. 
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until hashbrowns are tender and the topping is golden (mine was perfect at 50 minutes) and enjoy!

Notes

  • Prep ahead. The night before, you can assemble the casserole as instructed, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and keep it refrigerated until ready to bake. 
  • Opt for a block of cheese. Shredding the cheese yourself might be an extra step, but it tastes so much better. I use a salad shooter to do this, and it makes life so much easier!
  • Let it rest. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice and serve.
