Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken breasts and cook until they are no longer pink in the center.
Add Seasoning
Season the cooked chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
Combine with Alfredo Sauce
In the skillet, add the Alfredo sauce and stir to combine with the chicken thoroughly. Let it simmer for a few minutes to heat through.
Prepare the Tater Tots
In a large bowl, open the package of frozen tater tots and set aside.
Layer the Casserole
In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half of the tater tots evenly on the bottom. Pour the chicken and Alfredo mixture over the tater tots, then layer the remaining tater tots on top.
Add Cheese Topping
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top layer of tater tots, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the Oven
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tater tots are crispy.
