Ingredients
-
3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
-
2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
3 cups frozen tater tots
-
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup chopped broccoli florets (optional)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning or parsley flakes
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: ½ cup cooked bacon bits or diced ham
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, seasoning, and optional broccoli or bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
-
Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and tater tots are golden.
-
Optional: Sprinkle additional cheese on top during the last 5–10 minutes for a cheesy crust.
-
Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds moisture.
Use a lighter Alfredo sauce or add extra veggies for a healthier version.
For crispier tots, broil for 1–2 minutes after baking.
Can be assembled ahead, refrigerated overnight, or frozen before baking.
