A delicious and hearty Spring Veggie Loaded Chicken Potato Casserole packed with nutritious vegetables and tender chicken, perfect for a family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
- In a large pot, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, broccoli, carrots, green peas, cooked potatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggie mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier version, substitute half of the potatoes with cauliflower florets for a lower-carb option.
- Add your favorite herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor, or use different vegetables based on seasonal availability.
