Instructions
Step1: Prepare Your Oven and Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Cream of chicken soup
- Sour cream
- Melted butter
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt and pepper
Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step3: Combine Ingredients
Add shredded cheddar cheese and thawed hashbrowns to the creamy base. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Step4: Spread and Bake
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges.
Step5: Cool and Serve
Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color.
