It doesn’t get much more classic comfort food than chicken pot pie. Warm, hearty, and filled with veggies, protein, cheese, and creamy goodness that sticks to your ribs, it’s no wonder this meal is a staple around my house.
In fact, I love chicken pot pie so much, I wanted to see what other fun variations I could come up with. I think you’re going to like the results. This Chicken Tot Pie is exactly what it sounds like – chicken pot pie topped with tater tots. You’re welcome.
As I’ve stated, my family and I love the traditional version of this dish, but it’s fun to rock the boat every once in a while, don’t you think? And boy, am I glad I did!
Chicken Tot Pie has everything you love about the classic version – juicy chicken, veggies, a creamy filling, and the perfect blend of spices. Instead of spending time making your own crust or messing with refrigerated crusts, this dish keeps it simple with a tater tot topping.
You can have this warm, filling meal on the table in less than an hour – and 45 minutes of that is cook time. To make things even easier, you can grab a rotisserie chicken and shred it up to use instead of cooking and cubing chicken yourself.
Once the chicken is ready, simply mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, mixed vegetables, cheese, and spices in a large bowl. Spread the mixture out into your baking dish and top with tater tots in nice, even lines. Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden-brown and crispy.
