Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Dice the potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces and place in the baking dish. Finely mince the scallion and set aside.

Drizzle the olive oil over potatoes and season with the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir with a rubber spatula to coat potatoes in oil.

Roast the potatoes on middle rack of oven until tender but slightly underdone and just starting to brown, about 15 minutes.

Place the cooked chicken in a large mixing bowl. Season with the salt and black pepper, and add the garlic powder, paprika, minced scallion, and sour cream.

Remove potatoes from oven and transfer to the mixing bowl. Stir mixture with a rubber spatula until chicken and potatoes are thoroughly coated in sour cream.

Transfer the chicken and potato mixture to the baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese over top.

Bake the casserole on middle rack of oven until cheese is melted and lightly golden brown, 12-15 minutes.

Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Potato Perfection 🥔
Slice Yukon Gold potatoes uniformly and soak them in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, ensuring a crispier and more even-textured casserole.
Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
Grate your own cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded varieties, as fresh cheese melts more smoothly and provides a richer flavor profile.
Leftover Chicken Hack 🍗
For maximum moisture, shred or dice chicken into consistent, bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution and prevent dry spots in the casserole.
Layering Technique 🥘
Create alternating layers of potatoes and chicken, ensuring each layer is seasoned with a light sprinkle of garlic powder and black pepper for depth of flavor.
Creamy Texture Secret 💦
Mix sour cream with a splash of extra virgin olive oil before incorporating to create a smoother, more luxurious sauce that coats ingredients more evenly.
