- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 375°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine 2 cups shredded chicken with 1 cup buffalo sauce, 1 cup softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Create the first potato layer by arranging 2 thin slices of potatoes across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread the entire chicken mixture evenly over the potato layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Top the chicken mixture with remaining potato slices in a uniform pattern.
- Pour 1 cup of chicken broth slowly and carefully over the entire casserole to keep everything moist.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F for exactly 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese across the top, and return to oven uncovered.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese melts and edges turn golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes to set, then garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the casserole.
- Choose a good quality buffalo sauce that matches your heat preference, as this will significantly impact the overall flavor profile.
- For a lower-carb version, swap regular potatoes with cauliflower or turnip slices to reduce starch content.
- When adding chicken broth, pour slowly and evenly to help the potatoes absorb moisture without becoming soggy.
