Tater Tot Chicken Pie
"This has become a family favorite - I found this recipe on a bag of tater tots several years ago. This is very similiar to a Chicken Pot Pie with a Tater Tot topping instead of bread. It makes a great one dish meal with a salad and bread."

ingredients
- 907.18 g bag frozen tater tots
- 118.29 ml chopped onion
- 2 small garlic cloves, pressed
- 14.79 ml butter or 14.79 ml olive oil
- 473.18 ml diced cooked chicken
- 59.14 ml milk
- 283.49 g package frozen mixed vegetables
- 304.75 g can cream of chicken soup
- dried thyme
- black pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In large skillet, cook onion and pressed garlic in butter or olive oil over medium high heat until onion is tender.
- Add cooked chicken, frozen veggies, undiluted soup, milk, thyme and pepper.
- Stir ingredients together and cook over medium heat until hot and bubbly. Stirring occasionally.
- Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes; stirring frequently.
- Spoon chicken mixture into ungreased 2-quart casserole dish.
- Arrange frozen tater tots on top.
- Bake 40 minutes or until bubbly and tater tots are slightly browned.
- Note: This recipe easily doubles and you can make two. I freeze the extra one with the tater tots on top and then remove and thaw in fridge. Bake as directed above. Also, I sometimes add an extra can of soup and an extra 1/4 cup of milk for a thinner consistency. This would be a personal preference. Also, I add approximately 1/2 tsp of dried thyme and 1/2 tsp of black pepper for one casserole - adaptable to your taste.

The recipe was super! I used only one can of cream of chicken and 1/2 cup of milk instead of 1/4 cup. I also put the filling mixture in a store bought frozen pie crust and baked it as the tater tot recipe called for, which made it that much more wonderful! -
This was a winner! I also doubled up on the cream of chicken soup and added only 1/4 cup of milk. I used the frozen mixed California vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots). After the 40 minutes, I turned the broiler on for a couple of minutes to crisp up the tater tots! End result was a very tasty supper! Thanks Sheri! -
I really didn't change anything except add a bit more milk because it was kind of thick. It was a nice change from the regular hamburger tater tot casserole. -
Thankyou so much for a wonderful meal, instead of takeaway my kids want this.<br/>i have pastry on the bottom, i doubled the recipe so i used one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom (just to break it up abit. for the vegies i added cooked cauliflower and corn (you dont even notice the cauliflower.. talk about hiding vegies for the kids ) <br/>my whole family loved it and i have had to make it for my mother when she came over and my sister and her family .. its awesome.. you definately have a winner with this one :) Thank you!!<br/><br/><br/>*** thought i had lost this recipe **** my kids have been hounding me to make it.. so i will be making it tonight many thanks -
Doubled this recipe. Cooked Chicken (frozen), soup, onion and garlic in the crockpot on high this afternoon. This afternoon when the chicken was done shredded, I added the vegetables to the pot, mixed and then scooped into a 13*9 greased pan. Then I added 1/2 cup milk and mixed well. Last step was to top with tater tots. I will need to work on the spices but with the ease we will have again.

I have made this recipe over and over again and we love it every time! We usually use tuna instead of chicken and it's great! I change it up with the "cream of" soups, sometimes we use cream of celery, mushroom or potato basically whatever we have on hand. This is definitely a regular at our house. I love the freezing tip, works great!

This was very good. Instead of the frozen mixed vegetables I used fresh cut up carrots which I steamed for a little while and then some frozen corn. DH and I both really enjoyed it.

I made this last night for supper. Unfortunately, we thought it was bland. I did use olive oil for frying instead of butter and used pearl onions from the freezer. I guess I'll just have to try again later.

The kids liked this one!I added two cans of soup as well. I did not have a package of mixed veggies so I used a few peas, some corn, beans and some cooked fresh carrots instead. turned out great! Thanks Sheri!

I am a wife and mom of 2 kids - ages 11 & 13. I have been a stay-at-home mom since my kids were born until I started substituting at their school two years ago. I decided to go back to school to be a media specialist. I graduated this May and am working as an elementary media specialist at the school that my children attended. Also, I am a native Georgian. I love to spend time with my family and my hobby is reading. I love to cook when I'm in the mood, and I get tired of cooking the same things. That's why Recipezaar is such a good thing for me! Also, my favorite cookbooks are organizational cookbooks (i.e. church, school) because everyone puts their best recipes in them - Just like Recipezaar. When I tell my friends about Recipezaar, I tell them it is like one really BIG church cookbook!!
