Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 (15-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed and chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, broccoli (if using), parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the filling.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes on the middle rack.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
  7. Return to oven and bake another 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and tater tots are golden brown.
  8. If tater tots are not crisp, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  9. Let casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parmesan or fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, check tater tots and Alfredo sauce labels. Add extra veggies like spinach, peas, or bell peppers for more nutrition. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Shred your own cheese for best melt. Let casserole rest before serving for best texture. Leftovers keep well and taste even better the next day.
