Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken Rotisserie chicken works great!
  • 1 cup frozen peas Fresh peas are a great alternative if available.
  • 1 cup frozen corn Adds sweetness; feel free to leave this out if you prefer a simpler mix.
  • 1 cup carrots Diced; can be substituted with other vegetables like green beans or bell peppers.
  • 1 cup frozen tater tots Sweet potato tots can add a fun twist.
  • 1/4 cup onion Finely diced; leeks or shallots are great substitutes.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Cornstarch works for gluten-free needs.
  • 2 cups chicken broth Vegetable broth works too.
  • 1 cup milk Substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 4 tablespoons butter Olive oil can replace it for a lighter option.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic is always a welcome addition.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet.
  6. Add diced carrots, peas, and corn, and cook until tender.
  7. Stir in the flour and mix until well combined; cook for an additional minute.
  8. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, followed by the milk, stirring constantly.
  9. Simmer over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until thickened to gravy consistency.
  10. Stir in the garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Mix in the cooked chicken and cook until heated through.
  12. Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch (or 3-4 quart) baking dish.
  13. Top with tater tots and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly and tots are golden.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking for better serving. Experiment with toppings—try adding cheese, breadcrumbs, or bacon bits for extra flavor.
