Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups marinara sauce
3 cups frozen tater tots
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, season the diced chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Casserole: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread the cooked chicken evenly. Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken, then layer the frozen tater tots on top.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tater tots.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot.
