Cheesy Hash Brown Chicken Bake - Freezer Meal

Yay for make ahead meals! I actually made this Cheesy Hash Brown Chicken Bake - freezer meal a couple months ago while I was pregnant and put it in the freezer for later.

Well, now it's later, and I'm loving that I have a freezer full of dinners that I just have to reheat. In addition to being freezer friendly, this meal is family friendly.

You can't go wrong with cheesy potatoes for kids, and my husband was also a fan. This Cheesy Hash Brown Chicken Bake - freezer meal is also a great way to turn leftover rotisserie or cooked chicken into a whole new meal.
