Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Casserole
A cozy casserole combining shredded chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, veggies, and a crispy layer of tater tots — simple, comforting, and family-friendly.
Ingredients
Casserole
- 1 lb frozen tater tots about one 32 oz bag
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie recommended
- 2 cups jarred Alfredo sauce or homemade
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour optional
- ½ cup milk whole or 2%
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix thawed
- ½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until softened (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- If using, sprinkle flour over onions and cook 1 minute. Whisk in milk, then add Alfredo sauce. Heat until warm and slightly thickened.
- Stir in shredded chicken, thawed peas and carrots, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and fold in Parmesan and half the mozzarella.
- Spread the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly in prepared baking dish. Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top and sprinkle remaining mozzarella and extra Parmesan.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until tater tots are golden and casserole is bubbling. Broil 2–3 minutes for extra crisping if desired. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Assemble ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; add 10–15 minutes to bake time when baking from chilled.
- To freeze, partially bake for 20 minutes, cool, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and finish baking.
- Swap tater tots for hash browns or add cooked bacon for extra flavor.
