There is something so comforting about funeral potatoes, and adding shredded chicken makes it a perfect main course. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, making it a great choice for busy weeknights when you need a meal that everyone will love.

I like to use rotisserie chicken for this recipe because it saves so much time in the kitchen. Just keep the hash browns slightly thawed so they mix easily with the soup and sour cream, and you will have a bubbly, delicious dinner ready in no time.

🧺 Ingredients

30 ounces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, partially thawed
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups crushed cornflake cereal
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is well mixed.
3
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
4
In a separate medium bowl, toss the crushed cornflakes with the melted butter until coated.
5
Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
6
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cooled, baked casserole for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat, simply reheat individual portions in the microwave.
