Notes

Instant dried hash browns can be found in many grocery stores, often near the instant mashed potatoes or you can dehydrate bags of frozen hash browns (look for ones with no oil added).
We used a natural version of the ranch dressing mix: http://www.frontiercoop.com/products.php?ct=dfmds&cn=Ranch+Dip
If you like more chicken use 5 ounce can or 7 ounce pouch if desired.
The cheese sticks can be found in most grocery stores and you can swap out flavors, look for pepper jack for more spice!
