Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 bag frozen tater tots
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your Chicken Tot Pie cooks evenly and gets a nice golden color.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed and evenly coated with the soup.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Take the bag of frozen tater tots and arrange them in a single layer on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a crispy topping.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the Chicken Tot Pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly and make it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Chicken Tot Pie with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips
- • For extra flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken or seasoning your chicken with herbs like thyme or rosemary before shredding. • Make sure to use a baking dish with high sides to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking. • Want a crispier top? Brush the tater tots with a little melted butter before baking to enhance golden browning. • You can customize the vegetable mix based on what you have on hand - frozen mixed vegetables work perfectly. • Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help the filling set and make serving easier. • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cream of chicken soup and check your tater tot ingredients. • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain the tots' crispiness.
