Ingredients
  

  • 1 rotisserie chicken about 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion
  • 2-3 fresh carrots
  • 1 tbsp fresh poultry seasoning herb mix rosemary, thyme, sage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 32 oz frozen tater tots
  • salt and black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Shred the rotisserie chicken into small/medium pieces. I did this with my fingers but it you want to be neater, you can do it with two forks. You should have about 3 cups of shredded chicken when you are done. Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Chop the onion and place in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Peel and slice the carrots. Try to slice them on the thin size as that is the best way to ensure they will be cooked through. Set aside.
  • Finely chop the herbs and set aside.
  • Place one tbsp of olive oil in the cast iron or large skillet.
  • Add the onions to the skillet and cook on medium high heat until nearly translucent.
  • Add the carrots to the onions and cook over medium high heat until they are soft and the onions soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Lower to medium heat if the onions are browning too quickly.
  • Place the herbs in the pan with the onion and carrots and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
  • Lightly salt and pepper the vegetables.
  • Add the chicken broth to the vegetables.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the pan in a steady stream while whisking continually.
  • Whisk in the flour and stir continually. You want to be sure to break up any clumps of flour. 
  • Cook until the liquid thickens, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the shredded chicken, stirring to coat with the sauce.
  • Add the frozen peas and stir to combine.
  • Lightly salt and pepper.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dish. If you are using the cast iron or oven safe skillet, you can leave the chicken pot pie filling in the pan.
  • Top the surface of the chicken mixture with the frozen tater tots. If you are using a round pan, you can lay them in a circular pattern, otherwise you can form rows.
  • Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet. This will help catch any filling that bubbles over.
  • Bake this Ultimate Creamy Chicken Pot Pie with Tater Tots for 30 minutes until the tater tots are cooked through and the filling is bubbly.
