Pioneer Woman Chicken Tater Tot Casserole Food

LOADED CHICKEN AND TATER TOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚. Spread the Tater Tots on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with the olive oil on a second baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. After the tots have baked about 5 minutes, put the broccoli in the oven and roast, switching the pans halfway through, until charred and tender, about 20 minutes. The tots and broccoli should be finished around the same time.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and break into pieces. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from the pan.
• Toss the chicken in a large bowl with the smoked paprika and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the bacon fat in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. (It doesn't need to be cooked through-it'll finish cooking in the oven.)
• Combine the tots and broccoli on one baking sheet, spreading them in an even layer. Arrange the chicken on top and sprinkle with the cheddar. Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the bacon and chives and serve with sour cream.

• 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 TORTILLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package directions. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and add the tomatoes, garlic and onions. Stir and cook for a minute or 2. Add 2 teaspoons of the chili powder, 1 teaspoon of the paprika and 1 teaspoon of the cumin. Stir and cook the mixture for another minute or 2 in order to release the flavors. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the chicken along with the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin and some salt and pepper and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and done in the middle, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir to make a sauce. Allow the sauce to boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the pinto and kidney beans and set aside.
• To assemble, pour half of the jar of salsa verde (about a cup) in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish or disposable foil baking pan. Layer half of the tortillas on top of the salsa verde, overlapping the edges. Spoon the rice over the tortillas, spread the tomato mixture over the rice then sprinkle the corn over the tomatoes. Next, add the chicken and bean mixture, then sprinkle on half the cheese and pour over half the Enchilada Sauce. Next, add the remaining tortillas in a layer, pour on the rest of the salsa verde and Enchilada Sauce and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
• Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes before serving up to ensure it holds together. Serve with sour cream and cilantro for topping.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cube and some salt and pepper and cook until the spices darken and their flavors are released, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to combine and cook it for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine, then allow the liquid to thicken. Add the tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce is nice and thick and reduced by about a third, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then use an immersion blender to completely puree the sauce until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender to puree it; just make sure the sauce is cooled, as blending hot liquids is dangerous!)
• The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen! Just reheat the sauce in a saucepan or skillet for whatever recipe calls for it.
