Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Dairy
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
Vegetables
- 1 cup frozen peas
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Other
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Mix the Filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, frozen peas, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Assemble the Casserole. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the chicken and sauce mixture evenly on the bottom. Then, layer the frozen tater tots evenly over the top of the chicken mixture.
- Bake the Casserole. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
- Add Cheese and Finish Baking. Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Serve. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and make slicing easier. Enjoy this creamy, crispy comfort dish hot.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option, but you can use any cooked shredded chicken.
- For extra veggies, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the filling.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the mixture.
- Make sure the tater tots are spread evenly for uniform crispiness.
- This casserole can be reheated covered in the microwave or oven for leftovers.
