INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND CHICKEN:

  • This chicken will give your casserole a good taste, and it will make it satisfying too. You will get protein from adding it as well. Use ground turkey as an alternative as well.

ONION:

  • Adding an onion to your casserole will boost its taste. You can add shallots or onion powder for substitution as well.

FROZEN HASHBROWNS:

  • These are the main ingredients for your casserole dish. Here we will use frozen hashbrowns and defrost them to use them. Your casserole will have a softer texture from adding them as well. Shred a potato and add it for a different idea.

REDUCED-FAT CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP:

  • The cream of chicken soup will add creaminess to your dish. Also, you will use the reduced-fat one, so your casserole is lighter to eat. This will easily mix all the other components of your casserole together. Use light cream of celery for another idea, too.

PLAIN NONFAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • Use this yogurt to include a more creamy feeling in your casserole. This plain nonfat Greek yogurt is a good light idea for your dish, too. Also, you may use light sour cream as an alternative.

REDUCED-FAT SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • This is a cheesy casserole, so we will add the cheddar cheese to it. Also, use the reduced-fat one so your recipe remains lighter. Add low-fat mozzarella for another idea as well.

DICED-TOMATOES WITH GREEN CHILIS:

  • These will include moisture in your casserole and make it tasty as well. Also, use plain diced tomatoes if you need something else.

SEASONINGS:

  • The seasonings that we will use in this casserole will make its taste better. You will feel the favor boost from using them as well. Fresh garlic, chopped onion, smoked paprika, white pepper, and low-sodium seasoning blend are alternatives for them, too.

CRUSHED BAKED NACHO CHEESE CHIPS:

  • For the Dorito feeling in your casserole, we will use these. You will feel a cheesy taste from using them as well. You may make your own chips by mixing garlic powder, paprika, and baked tortilla chips.
