Hashbrown Chicken Cheese (Printable Version)

Melted cheese, golden hashbrowns, and loads of chicken bake up together for a crowd-pleasing comfort food folks will go back for.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Main Mixture

01 - 900 g thawed shredded hashbrowns
02 - 700 g cooked chicken breast, pulled apart
03 - 200 g shredded cheddar
04 - 240 g sour cream
05 - 180 ml whole milk
06 - 60 g unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
10 - 1 teaspoon salt
11 - 60 g sliced green onions

→ Topping

12 - 80 g plain breadcrumbs
13 - 15 g unsalted butter, melted

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Fire up your oven and let it warm to 190°C.
02 - In a big bowl, throw in your chicken and hashbrowns, then mix them up.
03 - Next, drop in the cheddar and stir so it gets spread out.
04 - Dump in your butter, milk, and sour cream. Keep mixing until everything looks even.
05 - Sprinkle on the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, and make sure they're stirred through.
06 - Toss in your green onions at the end, folding them in gently so you don’t mash everything up.
07 - Grease a 33x23 cm dish and spread your bowlful into it, trying to keep the top level.
08 - Grab a small bowl and mix your breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Be sure the butter soaks in.
09 - Sprinkle that buttery breadcrumb topping all over the surface till it's coated.
10 - Put your dish in the oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes until the top’s browned and the middle’s bubbling.
11 - Wait about five minutes to let everything settle—it’s less messy to cut that way.
12 - Spoon it up while still steamy and dig in.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Want a richer dish? Just swap in or add 60 g cream cheese for some of the sour cream.
02 - Love it spicy? Sprinkle on cayenne pepper or hit it with your favorite hot sauce right along with your seasonings.
03 - For a crunchier lid, use Panko or flavored breadcrumbs up top.
04 - If you’re out of chicken or just want a shake-up, cooked turkey or even ground beef fits perfectly too.
05 - Got extras? They’ll keep in the fridge for three days if you seal them up. Nuke or reheat when you want another helping.
