How to Make Creamy Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Bake
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a large casserole dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a light simmer.
Add Parmesan, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until thick, smooth, and creamy.
In a bowl, combine cooked chicken, broccoli, and half the mozzarella. Pour the Alfredo sauce over and mix well.
Spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until tater tots are crispy and golden.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and a little Parmesan on top. Bake an additional 5–7 minutes until melted and bubbly.
Rest for a few minutes before serving for the perfect texture.
