Description

Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Casserole is a comforting, hearty dish featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with creamy Alfredo sauce, sour cream, peas, and seasoned perfectly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Topped with crispy golden tater tots and melted mozzarella cheese, this casserole is baked to perfection, making it an ideal meal for busy weeknights or family gatherings.

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 and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, frozen peas, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.
  3. Assemble Casserole: Spread the chicken and Alfredo mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish, smoothing it out into an even layer.
  4. Add Tater Tots Topping: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture, covering the entire surface.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole 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 and Final Bake: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the tater tots. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly. Serve warm as a hearty main dish.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option and adds great flavor, but cooked shredded chicken breast or thighs work well, too.
  • If you prefer extra crispy tater tots, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to prevent burning.
  • This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated; bake covered for 40-45 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
  • Frozen peas add a nice pop of color and subtle sweetness but can be substituted with other frozen vegetables like corn or green beans.
  • Feel free to use a low-fat Alfredo sauce and reduced-fat cheese to lighten the dish a bit.
