Chicken Tater Tot Casserole is a family favorite comfort food. This filling meal is easy to throw together with only 6 ingredients that you might already have on hand.

Tater Tot Chicken Casserole Recipe

My kids love this meal because there are actually tater tots in the casserole (plus chicken and vegetables, but they don’t need to know that). I also love to serve this casserole with a green salad, rolls, and fruit to make a well-rounded meal that everyone loves!

All the ingredients for the casserole on the counter so you can see the labels, including chicken seasoning, frozen peas and carrots, shredded cheese, tater tots, diced chicken, and cream of chicken soup.

Ingredients for Tater Tot Casserole with Chicken

  • Diced Rotisserie Chicken – While of course you could use any type of chicken, I love using rotisserie chicken for this recipe. It is already fully cooked and cheaper than buying a whole chicken at the store. I use just one side of the chicken for this casserole.
  • Frozen Peas & Carrots
  • Cream of Chicken Soup – You can find a can of this in the canned goods section of the grocery store. If you prefer to make your own Cream of Chicken soup, try this recipe.
  • Montreal Chicken Seasoning – I buy mine from Amazon. I love this seasoning because it has the flavor of 6+ spices, but you only have to measure one thing.
  • Frozen Tater Tots
  • Shredded Cheese – I just buy the bag of pre-shredded cheese for ease, but you could also shred your own cheese.

How to Make Chicken Tater Tot Casserole

  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine the diced chicken, peas & carrots, cream of chicken soup, and seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  3. Now pour the mixture into a 9×9 baking dish.
  4. Then, arrange the frozen tater tots evenly on top of the chicken mixture in the pan.
  5. Put the pan in the oven and bake the casserole for 35 minutes.
  6. When it’s done baking, remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the tater tots.
  7. Return the pan back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes to melt the cheese and finish baking.
  8. Serve casserole warm & enjoy!

What should I serve with this casserole?

You can add any of your favorite side dishes, but I love something like Fruit Salad or Dinner Rolls.

Notes

*use the amount of seasoning that you prefer. I like mine to be a bit heavy on the seasonings so I use 1 1/2 tsp of the seasoning mix. If you prefer yours more mild, use 1 tsp of the seasoning.
