Description
Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole is a cozy, crowd-pleasing dinner made with tender chicken, creamy sauce, melted cheese, mixed vegetables, and a crispy golden tater tot topping. It is easy to assemble, bakes beautifully in one dish, and brings the kind of comforting flavor that makes weeknight dinners feel extra satisfying.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 32 ounce bag frozen tater tots
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and evenly coated.
4. Spread the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
5. Arrange the frozen tater tots evenly over the top of the casserole.
6. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the filling is hot and bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown.
7. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end if you want extra crispness on top.
8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep.
Keep the tater tots frozen until baking so they crisp up better.
Let the casserole rest briefly before serving so the filling sets nicely.
