Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast Cooked and shredded; rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
24 ounces frozen tater tots Perfectly crispy topping; use fresh potatoes for a homemade spin.
2 cups Alfredo sauce A creamy base; homemade gives a fresh taste, or opt for jarred sauces for convenience.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Melts well for a gooey texture; try pepper jack for a spicy kick.
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Adds umami flavor; nutritional yeast works for a dairy-free option.
1 cup frozen peas Optional; add in fresh or cooked vegetables of your choice.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances flavor; substitute with minced garlic for freshness.
to taste salt and pepper Basic seasonings to enhance overall flavor profile.
to taste fresh parsley for garnish Brightens up the dish visually and flavor-wise.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spread the chicken mixture evenly.
Layer the tater tots on top of the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the tater tots.
If using, add peas evenly across the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Serve warm with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal. Leftovers can be reheated easily, making it a great meal prep option.
