3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg tator tots
1 jar(s) roasted turkey gravy
seasoned salt with no msg to taste
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Prep a 9x11 baking dish with caneola or Olive oil spray. Preheat oven to 325*f, allowing 10 minutes to preheat. Add tots to the bottom of the pan and place chicken breasts oven the tots, allowing space between. Lightly season breasts and pepper tots to taste. Mix gravy with a half jar of warm water and pour over the tots and chicken. Wrap with aluminum foil and place in oven. Make sure foil is tightly wrapped to keep all the moisture in the pan, not in the oven to evaporate. This dish cooks long and slow for tender chicken and the tots to absorb the flavor of the chicken. I serve with brussel sprouts and my husband does not leave his plate without a smile and a full tummy!
