Ingredients
  

Casserole Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 15 oz Alfredo sauce (1 jar)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 32 oz frozen tater tots (1 bag)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and frozen peas. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and well combined.
  3. Pour the chicken and Alfredo mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
  4. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the casserole mixture, covering the entire surface. Ensure they don’t overlap for even crisping.
Baking
  1. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy on top. The sauce should be bubbling around the edges.
  2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the casserole. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  3. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.

Notes

For a spicy kick, mix in some buffalo sauce. You can also use homemade Alfredo sauce for a creamier texture or add diced vegetables for extra nutrition.
