Great. Had some vegs to use up so I added some mushrooms, half cup of frozen peas, half an onion diced and half a small zucchini diced. Used left over roast chicken and par baked potatoes. Didnt have to bake as long and it worked out great and stretched the meal and served with green salad and crusty bread. Thank you

Hi Jen, sure you can use boneless chicken thighs for this baked chicken and potato casserole.

The amount of heavy cream is in the recipe: 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

I didn’t have chicken breasts so I used hamburger and added some Italian seasoning to it. It turned out awesome and the kids loved it. I’ll have to double the recipe next time.
Wonderfully yummy :-)))))

Can you use leftover mashed potatoes instead of the whole potatoes cut up?
I think you can but it will be mushy and different texture.
