freaking amazed at the questions asked! Doesn’t anyone read the comments before asking the same question asked 10 times already? Rant over…Thanks for the inspiration recipe! I no longer use cream since I found canned milk is an excellent replacement, I just need to think ahead for what I will use the rest of the can for! Hmmm. Hot cocoa for tomorrow’s ride to work! Starting to peel potatoes now!
Hi Sherri, thanks for your comment. Canned milk sounds yummy, I will have to check it out. Happy cooking this baked chicken and potato casserole.
Rasa, your Chicken Potato casserole looks yummy. I’m always looking for something new to take to our church monthly potlucks. I just have a question, Do you precook the chicken breast or put it into the casserole raw. Also the potatoes – any precooking. I have a potato ham casserole and I usually cook the potatoes some beforehand when I fix it as they seem to take so long to cook.
thank you
Hi Kathy, no pre-cooking, all raw and they will get cooked when in the oven.
I stumbled across this recipe while trying to get inspiration for dinner. Cut the spuds and chook and put in the dish. Went to the fridge to get cream ? it was gone. While hunting found some sour cream so replaced this in the recipe with a dash of milk to fix the consistency. OMG this is so tasty. 2/3 kids agreed (the other is such a fussy bum and I really didn’t expect him to eat it). Thanks heaps. Will definitely be going in the recipe book
So happy that you like this baked chicken and potato casserole!! :)
This looks absolutely amazing…and I plan on trying this tonight! (Btw…yes, it might be a little on the “fatty” side, but as a woman trying to get a man on chemo to eat anything…and he said “that looks good” I don’t care about calories! And i am giving you 5stars to even out the one star person who never intended to try it)
Hi Robynn, I am sorry to hear that. Thanks for your 5 stars review. I hope your guy loves the dish.
Would this work in a glass baking dish ?
Hi Krae, yes, I think so!
Thank you! This recipe is easy and delicious! And best of all…my husband loved it!
Thanks Laura for trying my baked chicken and potato casserole recipe.
Can you add rice instead of potatoes
I wouldn’t recommend rice.
Very good. The only thing I did do different was mixing most of the cheese in with the chicken and potatoes instead of layering it. It’s a very rich dish but delicious.
That’s awesome, sounds like a great idea. I am glad you tried my baked chicken and potato casserole.
This is my husbands favorite recipe I’ve ever found on Pinterest. I now boil my potatoes first bc he’s to impatient to wait the longer baking time lol. I even add new things to try out each time, it’s so versatile to just expierement with. Hidden valley ranch packets!!! All I’m saying ?. Thank you for this delicious post, the heavy cream really was the secret here I never would have thought of.
Hi Leah, thanks so much for trying my baked chicken and potato casserole. Please try other recipes on my site. :)
Can you add sour cream somehow? That’s just feels like it should go with. Ya know??
You don’t need sour cream. It tastes great as is. :)
