Chicken Pot Tot Hotdish image

My Tater Tot hotdish has the body of a chicken pot pie, a dish that I loved growing up, long before I knew the existence of Tater Tot hotdish. But a close examination reveals that the only real differences are the subbing of chicken for ground beef and the use of a homemade cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom soup. I don't think this will offend a hotdish purist.

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
6 tablespoons flour
3 cups whole milk
Enough chicken broth base to make 3 cups broth
3/4 cup peas, fresh or frozen
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thigh, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Black pepper
18 ounces frozen Tater Tots
Ketchup, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour so that it gets evenly distributed. Add 1 1/2 cups of the milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Repeat with the remaining 1 1/2 cups milk. Stir in the chicken broth base, peas, chicken, thyme, and a few turns of pepper and simmer, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if desired.
  • Transfer the mixture to an 11x8-inch baking dish (or other 3-quart ovenproof dish) and cover the bitch with Tater Tots. Arrange them snugly and neatly. Bake until the tots are golden brown. Begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with ketchup, if desired.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make when I'm short on time. It's so easy to throw together and it always turns out delicious. I usually make a big batch and freeze half of it for later.
