Ingredients

  • 40 ounces chicken tenderloins defrosted
  • 32 ounces frozen Southern style hash browns
  • 1 10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup french fried onions

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉ and grease a 9x13-inch pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together 32 ounces frozen Southern style hash browns, 1 10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup, ½ cup milk, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Spread the mixture in the bottom of the greased pan.
  • Arrange 40 ounces chicken tenderloins over the potatoes trying to overlap the pieces as little as possible. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon seasoned salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • Spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and place spray side down over the casserole. Bake covered for 50 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the top of the casserole with 1 cup french fried onions and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Reduce the heat to 350℉ and return the casserole to the oven uncovered. Bake for 20 more minutes. The cheesy potato mixture should be bubbly and the chicken should be at least 165℉ when checked with a meat thermometer.
  • Allow to rest for about 10 minutes and then serve.

Notes

  • Feel free to use shredded hash browns or O'brien potatoes if you want.
  • If you are using chicken thighs or breasts, cut into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
