    Cheesy chicken and potato casserole made WITHOUT any canned condensed soups! Really easy and super delicious weeknight dinner idea!

    You can't beat the convenience of a good casserole.  They're fast, they're tasty, and they can make a lot of food all at once.  I'd been shying away from most casseroles recently because so many of the recipes called for adding a can of gloopy condensed soup.  But then I discovered this perfect substitute that you can whip up while the other ingredients are being prepared, and it works exactly the same as using a can of soup, but less artificial!

    This cheesy chicken and potato casserole is a comforting mixture of flavors.  There's just the right amount of green onion to add a little zip to the flavor but not so much that it overwhelms, making this a suitable dinner for even picky eaters.

    We've had to alter our meal plans slightly now that we have a little one to feed, but he's surprisingly open minded and has only stinky-faced a few things that we've tried to put in front of him.  He gobbled up a whole plate of this casserole and even pointed frantically at the dish to ask for more!

    This casserole does just fine on its own as a main dish, but it would be great paired with a salad, green veggie of some kind, or even some roasted carrots.

    Cheesy Chicken and Potato Casserole

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • Approx. 3 ½ pounds russet potatoes, washed and peeled
    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
    • ½ cup green onions, chopped, plus more for garnish if desired
    • 1 TBS butter, melted
    • 1 recipe homemade Cream of Chicken soup substitute
    • ⅔ cup milk of choice
    • 1 ½ tsp salt, or more to taste
    • ½ tsp pepper, or more to taste
    • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
    • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided (mild or sharp)

    Instructions

    1. Lightly spray a glass 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
    2. Cut the prepped potatoes in half and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and sprinkle generously with salt.
    3. Bring the potatoes to a boil and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes. You don't want them completely tender - a fork should pierce them with a little bit of resistance. While the potatoes come to a boil, prepare the Cream of Chicken substitute (see link above for recipe).
    4. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool. While they are cooling, pre-heat the oven to 375F.
    5. When potatoes have cooled enough to be able to handle them, grate them into a large mixing bowl.
    6. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Cream of Chicken substitute, milk, salt, and pepper.
    7. Pour the soup mixture over the potatoes and add the green onions and half of each of the cheeses. Fold everything together and transfer to the prepared 9x13 baking dish.
    8. Top the casserole with the remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
    9. Top with additional chopped green onion if desired.

      If I choose to use canned soup is that ok? Do I need to make any other changes

        Funny story, I just looked up this recipe and realized I never responded to your comment! YIKES! While I'm sure you're not still waiting around for me to reply before making this recipe, I wanted to respond so others can see the answer. You can definitely use a can of soup in place of the homemade version and you won't need to make any additional changes to the recipe.

      This looks like a great casserole but the only thing I saw missing from the instructions is what to do with the 2 cups of shredded chicken?

        I'm SO sorry for never responding to this comment! I don't know why it slipped through the cracks, but I wanted to go ahead and respond so others can see. Just add the shredded chicken to the mixture at the end before spreading the casserole into the pan and baking.
