Substitutions And Additions
CANNED VS FRESH: You can substitute the canned ingredients with fresh or frozen and thawed ingredients; you’ll just need to make sure they are cooked before including them in this dish.
CHICKEN: You can use any leftover chicken you’d like in this easy recipe. Cooked rotisserie chicken or previously cooked chicken breasts are great options. You could even use leftover turkey if you have that on hand.
POTATOES: You can substitute the frozen hashbrowns with fresh diced potatoes in this savory pie; just make sure you cook them before including them in this dish.
ONION: You can substitute the onion powder with fresh minced onion that has been sauteed.
CREAM: If you don’t have any heavy cream on hand, you can substitute whole milk or half and half.
CREAM SOUP: Any cream soup works fine in this recipe. Instead of cream of celery soup, you can use cream of broccoli soup or cream of mushroom soup.
DOUGH: You can substitute the pizza dough with croissant dough. You’ll want to pinch the seams of the croissants together to create one large sheet of dough.
