Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole later.
  2. Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, combine the Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended to create the flavorful sauce mixture.
  3. Add chicken and peas: Fold the shredded chicken and frozen peas into the sauce mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the casserole: Spread the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the mixture, covering the surface completely.
  5. Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Add cheese topping: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and slightly browns.
  7. Serve warm: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set. Serve warm for a comforting and delicious meal.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken can be substituted with leftover cooked chicken or cooked chicken breasts shredded.
  • For extra veggies, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or diced bell peppers.
  • Frozen peas add a pop of color and sweetness—you can substitute with corn or green beans if preferred.
  • Use freshly shredded mozzarella for best melting results.
  • To make it lower fat, use light Alfredo sauce and reduced-fat sour cream.
  • Ensure tater tots remain frozen until ready to bake for maximum crispness.
