Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots
- 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the cooked chicken and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese to the sauce mixture. Stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the top of the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
