Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken Rotisserie chicken works perfectly.
  • 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables Feel free to use frozen peas, carrots, or fresh ones.
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup You can substitute with homemade white sauce for a healthier option.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Thin out the soup for a richer sauce; can replace with chicken broth.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Essential for flavor.
  • 30 ounces Frozen Tater Tots A must for the classic flavor!

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Notes

For an extra crispy top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end! You can also assemble it a few hours or even a day earlier and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
