Potato casserole with chicken breast and cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, sweet potatoes can be a tasty alternative, though they may add a slightly sweeter flavor and require similar cooking time. Ensure they are grated uniformly for even baking.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
Absolutely! Omit the chicken and add layers of sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for a hearty vegetarian version. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking, then uncover to let the top brown. For extra moisture, add a splash of milk or cream to the potato mixture.
Yes! Assemble (unbaked), wrap tightly in foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed. Pre-baked leftovers can also be frozen.
Cheddar, mozzarella, or Gouda are great meltable substitutes. Avoid very soft cheeses (e.g., brie) as they may make the casserole too watery.
Replace potatoes with grated cauliflower (squeezed dry) and use a full-fat cheese. Increase chicken quantity for added protein.
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted veggies, or garlic bread. A dollop of sour cream or salsa adds a nice contrast.
