Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (32 ounce) bag frozen tater tots
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and bubbling, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir in the prepared white sauce until well combined.
Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
