Description
A hearty and delicious casserole combining crispy tater tots, tender chicken, and a creamy, savory sauce for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 cup ranch seasoning mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you gather your ingredients. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter, ensuring easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper. Mix well until every component is evenly incorporated.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out to create an even foundation for the tater tots.
- Carefully layer the frozen tater tots on top of the chicken mixture in a single layer for optimal crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the tater tots turn golden brown and crispy.
- Let the casserole sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to firm up.
- Top with chopped green onions just before serving for an extra touch.
