CHICKEN TOT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place a large skillet over a medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onion and saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken, cream of celery soup, 1/2 can of water and the frozen mixed vegetables. Stir well and cook until just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Arrange the tater tots in tightly packed rows to completely cover the top. Do not press the tots into the mixture; just let them sit on top. Bake until the tot topping is browned and the chicken mixture is bubbly, about 30 minutes, then serve.

CHICKEN POT PIE WITH A TATER TOT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, leeks and tarragon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the skillet over medium heat, sprinkle in the flour and whisk until a paste forms and starts to bubble. Whisk in the chicken broth and continue to cook until it begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the cream and cook until it thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper.
• Return the vegetables to the skillet; add the peas and chicken and stir to combine. Sprinkle the frozen tater tots all over the filling to cover completely (there will be extra tater tots; reserve for another use). Bake until the tots are golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN POT TOT HOTDISH

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.
