- 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for optimal baking.
- Combine the cooked chicken, diced potatoes, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Add the chicken broth and sour cream into a separate bowl, whisking to create a creamy sauce for the casserole.

- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
Notes
Don’t overcook the potatoes. Experiment with different cheeses and proteins for variety.
