Ingredients
  

Casserole Base

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Use leftover rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup Convenience is key, but a homemade version can be used.
  • 1/2 cup milk Can substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper Be cautious with the salt as the soup can be salty.

Topping

  • 1 bag frozen tater tots The star of the show, adds crunch.
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or blend) Sharp cheddar is recommended for flavor.
  • Optional Chopped green onions For garnish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and layer the chicken mixture evenly at the bottom.

Assembly

  • Arrange the frozen tater tots evenly over the chicken mixture.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top.

Cooking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Let it cool slightly before serving and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

This casserole is perfect for meal prep. Leftovers taste even better the next day. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For reheating, use the microwave for quick heat or the oven for a crispy texture.
