Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, frozen peas, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Assemble the casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
  4. Add the tater tot layer: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture, covering it completely.
  5. Bake the casserole: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Add the cheese topping: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tater tots, and return to the oven.
  7. Final bake: Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it set and enhance flavors.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is convenient and adds great flavor, but you can also use any cooked shredded chicken.
  • For a healthier version, consider using low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese.
  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
  • Make sure to spread the tater tots in a single layer for even crispiness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
