- 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup frozen peas
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix 2 cups shredded chicken, 15 oz Alfredo sauce, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the creamy chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Create a uniform layer of frozen tater tots across the entire surface of the chicken mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slide the casserole into the 400°F oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the tots turn golden brown and crisp.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the hot casserole and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5-7 minutes before serving to help it set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Swap frozen peas for fresh or mixed vegetables if fresh taste matters more to your meal.
- Thaw tater tots slightly before baking to ensure more even, crispier texture across the casserole.
- For a gluten-free version, verify your Alfredo sauce and check that the tater tots are certified gluten-free.
- Add crispy bacon crumbles or green onions on top for extra flavor and crunch right before serving.
