Chicken & Mushroom Hash Brown Gratin #5FIX

Submitted by mihochairo

"5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. Converted a chicken and pasta gratin dish into this quick and easy casserole dish using hash browns instead of noodles. It actually may be better than the noodle version! If you are planning ahead of time, you can actually prepare the casserole a day or two beforehand and just bake it when you are ready. I found that this actually makes the flavors blend together and intensifies the flavor of the entire dish!"

I made this dish this evening for my family and it was delicious! I highly recommend to everyone to try making it! The potatoes really soak in the mushroom sauce flavor and it is really easy to cook which will be good for entertaining.

When I made this tonight, I had very little resources on hand. No soup, only one chicken breast, no milk. It was crazy. I used a can of chicken with the one breast I already have. I used canned evaporated milk and made a homemade cream of mushroom soup, and substituted a can of golden mushroom soup. Anyway, I was worried but I didn’t need to...it tasted great and was a huge hit with everyone. Some extra folks showed up and there was plenty for everyone. Great, simple recipe. Just what I needed. Thank you!
