Variations of this recipe
Change up the veggies. I use red potatoes and broccoli but you can use any type of potato and change up the veggies to whatever you have on hand.
Use Frozen Veggies. I like using fresh roasted broccoli, but you can save time and use frozen if you would like to instead.
Use a Rotisserie chicken. Running short on time? Skip cooking the chicken and use left over chicken you have on hand or a rotisserie chicken from the store.
Bacon. I cook my bacon in the oven when I am making this, however you can totally cook it on the stove if you want to.
Tips for Cooking Chicken
This recipe calls for 2 cups of cooked chicken, there are a few different ways that you can cook chicken, or you can skip cooking it all together and use a store bought already cooked rotisserie chicken.
You can boil the chicken. Just add raw chicken breasts to a pot and cover with 3 cups of chicken broth or water whichever you prefer. Heat on medium high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling turn heat to low and cover pot with a lid and let simmer for 10 minutes.
You can bake the chicken. Spray a baking sheet with non stick spray place the chicken breast on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Then bake for 35-45 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

Comments & Reviews
Renee says
What do you do with the broccoli? I didn’t see it in the instructions after you bake it?
Huella Campbell says
The loaded chicken potato casserole sounds great. As I was reading over the recipe I saw that the broccoli was roasted until crispy but I never saw where it is included in the actual preparation of the dish. Is is layered with the potatoes & chicken or mixed in with the sour cream mixture? Thanks for your reply!
Debbie Norris says
So, what about the broccoli?
Marcy says
Your recipe does not say what to do with the brocolli after it is cooked.
Russ says
When does the broccoli go in ?????
Stephanie says
Im sorry I do not know. But you can always try.
Sonya says
What about the broccoli? Do you just add that on top of the potatoes?
P.S. do NOT sell my email!
Evylyn says
I bake the broccoli as directed, and then add the broccoli as a layer with the chicken and potatoes and bake it all together. Tastes great!
Mandi says
I used chicken breast that was already cooked, frozen broccoli florets that were steamed and potatoes were boiled to tender. My seasoning in the sour cream mixture was salt & pepper, garlic powder and onion powder (didn’t measure). I put the broccoli on top of the chicken before adding the sour cream mixture. I also added about a cup of cheese to the top after removing foil. This was a great dish! Family really enjoyed!
