Variations Ideas:
- Change Chicken – We usually make this recipe with chicken breasts. But you can easily mix in cooked ground beef or chicken thighs. This recipe also works with leftover cooked chicken or Rotisserie Chicken.
- Homemade Cream Soup – We used canned cream soup but you can easily make homemade cream of chicken soup or homemade cream of mushroom soup.
- Add Vegetables – This recipe works great to sneak in veggies. You can layer in green beans, chopped carrots, celery and broccoli. We have even added in cubes of potatoes to make this a complete meal idea.
- Cooked Bacon – For even more flavor add in crumble bacon or bacon bits. Chicken and bacon make a delicious combination.
- Seasoning – Another options for added flavor is to sprinkle in a ranch seasoning packet.
Step by Step Instructions:
Step 1 – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Step 2 – Stir in the diced chicken.
Step 3 – Pour this mixture into a crock pot. Sprinkle one cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 4 – Then arrange the tater tots in a single layer on top.
Step 5 – Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours until chicken is cooked through.
Step 6 – Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on low for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese. Turn the crock pot off and let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes. Then serve and enjoy.
Recipe Tips:
- Prepare Crock Pot – To easily serve this casserole, we recommend spraying the bottom of the slow cooker bowl with non-stick cooking spray. This also makes cleanup a breeze.
- Cheese – We recommend shredding the cheese yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese.
- Tater Tots – There is no need to thaw the frozen tater tots before layering in the slow cooker. Take straight from the freezer to the slow cooker.
- Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary depending on your slow cooker. We recommend cooking on low for about 5 hours.
Serving Suggestions:
This crockpot chicken casserole is hearty to be served as it is. But we like to serve with a light salad or air fryer broccoli to complete this meal.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
We usually just reheat in the microwave in 1 minute intervals until heated. But if you have a lot leftover, place in a casserole dish and reheat in the oven.
