Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Casserole is a cozy and comforting dinner that combines tender shredded chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and crispy golden tater tots. This hearty casserole is enhanced with peas, garlic, and cheese, making it a perfect family-friendly meal for busy weeknights or casual 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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, frozen peas, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble the casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the chicken mixture, covering it completely.
  4. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tater tots for a melty, golden topping.
  5. Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the dish set and makes it easier to portion.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation and added flavor.
  • Frozen peas add a pop of color and nutrition but can be substituted with other vegetables like broccoli.
  • If you prefer a spicier casserole, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Alfredo sauce and sour cream with plant-based alternatives and use a vegan cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
