1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits (for added flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, thawed hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

      Add the Cheese: Fold in both the cheddar and mozzarella cheese, keeping a small handful of cheese aside for topping later.

        Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the hashbrown mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

          Add Toppings: If using, sprinkle the crispy bacon bits over the top of the casserole. Then, top with the reserved cheese for that wonderful cheesy crust.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.

              Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for a fresh touch.

                Serve: Cut into squares and serve hot as a comforting meal, perfect for brunch or dinner. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Hashbrown Casserole!
