FAQ
Q: Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken adds extra flavor and saves time.
Q: What can I use instead of canned soup?
A homemade white sauce or condensed cream soup substitute made with butter, flour, milk, and chicken broth will work well.
Q: Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare everything (except the topping) up to 24 hours in advance, refrigerate it, then add the topping just before baking.
Q: Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hashbrowns?
You can grate fresh potatoes, but be sure to squeeze out excess moisture first. It adds a bit more work, but the flavor can be worth it!
