Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

      Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch (or similar size) baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

        Layer the Mixture: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

          Add Tater Tots: Top the chicken mixture with a single layer of frozen tater tots. Make sure they are evenly distributed for best cooking results.

            Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tater tots, covering them as much as possible.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly.

                Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
