Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
2. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and frozen peas. Stir until well combined.
3. Assemble: Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
4. Top with tater tots: Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the mixture.

Notes
Make Ahead: Assemble in advance and refrigerate or freeze before baking.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil; freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
Reheat: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes. Broil briefly if needed to re-crisp.
Variations: Add veggies (broccoli, spinach), swap cheeses, use turkey or sausage instead of chicken, or add bacon for flavor.
Tips: Use frozen tater tots for best texture and don’t overcrowd them. Customize toppings with parsley or Parmesan for extra flair.
