VARIATIONS ON CHICKEN TOT PIE

• • Potatoes: Try Mashed Potatoes spread on top for a shepherd’s pie like meal or substitute frozen hash browns for a thinner crispy topping.
  • Different Tots: Use Cauliflower or Broccoli Tots to mix things up a bit. They even make carrot tots now. Or try a mixture for a fun colorful pattern.
  • Meat: Instead of chicken breast, use a rotisserie chicken to easily add flavor without using more seasoning. You can also use leftover ham, cooked ground beef, or turkey breast.
  • Veggies: Use your favorite frozen vegetable mixes like stir fry blend or cauliflower and broccoli blend. Make your own veggies using Easy Peas and Carrots, a one bowl, 5 minute recipe!
  • Cream Soup: Try other condensed cream soup bases like Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Cheddar, or Cream of Celery instead of the Cream of Chicken.
  • Mini Chicken Tot Pies: Make individual Chicken Tot Pies by dividing the filling into small ramekins or a muffin tin lined with silicone cupcake liners (they hold up better). Top with tots and bake for 25 minutes. Top with cheese and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
