Ingredients for Chicken and Hashbrown Casserole
Simple ingredients – you can use a rotisserie chicken to make it easier – then add in veggies, potatoes and some saucy sauce! Here’s what you need:
- Rotisserie Chicken – you can also cook a whole chicken in your crock pot if you like but a rotisserie chicken is so easy to use!
- Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes – you don’t need to thaw these – but you can if you want – either will work just fine
- Frozen Mixed Vegetables – peas/carrots/green beans
- Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken Soup – I love Cream of Mushroom but had one of each so I used both!
- Sour Cream – you could swap Greek Yogurt if you like
- Seasoning Salt & Black Pepper
- Ritz Crackers – I love the Ritz cracker topping on this casserole but you could use potato chips or corn flakes
- Melted Butter – salted butter is fine for this one
Recipe Variations
I actually was going to leave the veggies out when I thought up the recipe but then decided a one pan dish is always helpful. That said – here are some options if you’d like to change it up:
- Cheese – I kind of like that this casserole is cheese-free – but you could easily add mozzarella or cheddar cheese!
- Bacon – add some crumbled bacon with the chicken for a smoky bonus
- Seasonings – I like to go fairly mild with seasonings but you can add onion powder, garlic powder or even ranch dressing mix!
- Veggie Swap – I went with a bag of mixed veggies but you could easily use broccoli, cauliflower or add sauteed mushrooms and onions!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. I prefer to reheat in the oven or the air fryer so the crackers get crispy again. The oven would take 20-25 minutes and the 35º in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
I saw a TikTok video that you put your warm chicken right from the store in a ziploc bag then massage it. Just start rubbing and the meat comes off! Then you just pull out the bones and skin. It worked great!!!! Much easier than picking it all off!

8×8 seems kind of small for 4 to 5 cups of chicken plus 30 oz of hashbrowns. Will 9×13 work better? If use 9×13 same amount of cooking time?
I used a rectangular dish that was about equivalent to 8×8 and yes – i think 9×13 would be great – a little roomier. ๐ Shouldn’t change the time at all.
Comfort food at its finest! I made this and my whole family loved it! This recipe is like a great big hug from Mom! I will be making this often!
A bit dry. I think
Cheese added would help
It had a nice flavor, but it was a little dry.
would cream cheese work in place of sour cream?
yes – but maybe add 1/4 cup milk to make it a little creamier – its not going to stir in like sour cream so i would dice it and then maybe stir the casserole before eating
