Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/2 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the teriyaki sauce to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
In a baking dish, spread the teriyaki chicken mixture evenly on the bottom. Top with frozen tater tots, arranging them in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
