Large-Batch Cheesy Chicken & Potato Casserole

 

🧾 Ingredients

4–5 lbs potatoes, peeled & thinly sliced

3 lbs cooked chicken, shredded or diced

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups mozzarella (or more cheddar)

2 cups heavy cream or cooking cream

1½ cups milk

½ cup melted butter

3 tbsp flour

1½ tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Optional: chopped parsley or green onions

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F

Add half the chicken + some cheese

Repeat layers (potatoes → chicken → cheese)

🥣 Cream Sauce

Whisk together:

Cream, milk, melted butter, flour

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika

Pour evenly over the casserole

Press gently so liquid sinks between layers

🔥 Baking

Cover with foil → bake 45 minutes

Uncover → bake 20–30 minutes until:

Golden brown

Potatoes fork-tender

Rest 15 minutes before cutting (important!)

💡 Pro Tips

For extra crisp top: broil 3–5 minutes

Let it rest so it cuts clean like the photo

Freezes beautifully after baking

Beef version: swap chicken for cooked ground beef

Spicy: add chili flakes or jalapeños

Low-carb: replace potatoes with cauliflower
