Chicken Tater Tot® Casserole

I had Tater Tots® in my freezer, but every recipe seemed to use ground beef, so I took the Savory Tater Tot® Casserole recipe and revised it for chicken.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 (12 ounce) jar chicken gravy
• 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
• 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
• 1 pinch dried thyme, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and onion; cook and stir until chicken juices run clear and onion softens, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Place cubed potatoes in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; drain.

Step 4

Combine chicken mixture, potatoes, thawed vegetables, and gravy in a large bowl. Add onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper; stir until well-distributed.

Step 5

Pour mixture into a 9-inch glass baking dish and arrange potato nuggets in a single layer on top.

Step 6

Bake casserole in the preheated oven until bubbly around the edges, about 45 minutes.
