Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on each side for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and shred the chicken with two forks once cooled slightly.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Add the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and onion-garlic mixture to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single, even layer on top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the hot dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
