Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I like to mix the shredded chicken with the thawed hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and diced onion in a large mixing bowl. It’s fun to get everything well combined! The mixture should be thick and creamy, with the chicken and hash browns fully coated. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. I always taste it at this stage to make sure it’s just right—don’t skip this step! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
