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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
  2. Combine Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, frozen peas, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Assemble Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish to form the base layer of the casserole.
  4. Add Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the chicken mixture, covering the entire surface evenly for the perfect crispy topping.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the layer of tater tots for a golden, cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to portion.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen peas with other vegetables like corn or mixed vegetables for variation.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the chicken mixture.
  • Make sure to use cooked shredded chicken to avoid undercooked poultry in the casserole.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
