Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
1 cup sour cream
1 cup frozen peas
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13‑inch baking dish.
-
Mix filling: In a large bowl, combine chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, peas, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
-
Assemble: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
-
Add tater tots: Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top.
-
Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes until tots are golden and crispy.
-
Add cheese: Remove from oven, sprinkle mozzarella over the top, and bake another 5–10 minutes until melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Bake tater tots briefly before topping for extra crunch. Add cooked bacon or vegetables like broccoli for variation. Use freshly shredded mozzarella for the best melt. Reheat leftovers in the oven for crisp texture. Serve with a side salad or steamed veggies for a balanced meal.
