Tater Tot Casserole Recipe with Chicken

Traditional tater tot casserole is made with ground beef, but this version uses chicken! It’s a great way to use fresh or leftover chicken. There is a creamy sauce and then it all gets covered with tater tots and cheese.

How to make Tater Tot Chicken Casserole

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until it is no longer pink.
3. Mix in the soup, milk, vegetables, cheese and cook until heated through.
4. Top with tater tots and remaining cheese, and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Remember you are taking the skillet off of the stove and putting it into the oven, so it needs to be able to go in the oven.  A cast iron skillet would work best for this recipe.

Can I freeze it?

You can! If you plan to freeze this easy chicken recipe I suggest baking it in a baking dish instead of a cast iron skillet. You can then place foil over the baking dish once it’s cooled and put it in the freezer.

This easy chicken dinner is perfect for busy weeknights and everyone will gobble it up! This is a tater tot casserole you will want to make soon!
