Description

This Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Casserole is a cozy, comforting dinner perfect for satisfying cravings. Tender shredded chicken is mixed with creamy Alfredo sauce and seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs, layered with broccoli for a hint of freshness. Topped with melted mozzarella and crispy tater tots, this baked casserole combines creamy, cheesy, and crunchy textures into one delicious, easy-to-make dish that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. If you like, fold in broccoli florets to add some vegetable goodness.
  3. Assemble Base Layer: Spread the chicken and Alfredo mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, creating a flavorful base layer for your casserole.
  4. Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken filling to add melty, cheesy richness.
  5. Top with Tater Tots: Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese, ensuring a crispy, golden topping.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly.

Notes

  • You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables like peas or mushrooms for variety.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and shredding chicken yourself.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Ensure tater tots are spread in a single layer for even crisping.
  • Letting the casserole rest helps it hold together better when serving.
