Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 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
Topping
- 1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and frozen peas. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and the chicken is well coated.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the creamy chicken mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it to cover the base evenly.
- Add the Tater Tots: Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture, covering the entire surface of the casserole.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the casserole briefly, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and return it to the oven. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Take the casserole out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy and crispy comfort food!
Notes
- The shredded chicken can be from rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
- Using fresh peas instead of frozen can be an option but will affect cook time and texture slightly.
- The casserole can be prepared ahead up to assembly and refrigerated; bake when ready.
- For an extra crispy topping, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after adding cheese—but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Feel free to substitute mozzarella with a blend of Italian cheeses like Parmesan or provolone for more flavor.
