Description
This creamy chicken Alfredo tater tot casserole is a comfort-packed, budget-friendly dinner idea that’s perfect for busy families. Quick to prep and full of cheesy goodness it’s one of the best creamy chicken recipes out there.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. I always do this step while my daughter’s setting the table just part of the rhythm.
2. In a big bowl, mix Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. It smells amazing already.
3. Add the cooked chicken and stir until fully coated in the Alfredo mixture.
4. Spread the creamy mixture evenly into your baking dish. If you’re using bacon bits, toss them in now or save them for the top.
5. Arrange your frozen tater tots in a neat layer on top. There’s something oddly satisfying about this step, especially if you’ve got little hands helping.
6. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan for that golden, bubbly finish.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the tots are perfectly crispy. Let it rest 5–10 minutes before diving in.
Notes
Can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight.
Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe.
