Need Something More Simple:

Use shredded or chopped rotisserie chicken-just put the tater tots in the bottom of your lightly greased baking dish. Top and evenly distribute the rotisserie chicken pieces, slices green onion, green chilies, grated cheese. Mix the soup, sour cream, chicken broth and spices in a mixing bowl and pour over the ingredients in the baking dish. Bake until hot and bubbly. The ingredients will not already be hot, so it will take longer to get hot and bubbly.

We love to buy Costco rotisserie chickens and clean the meat off. We freeze the meat in vacuum sealed bags-in 2 or 3 cup quantities to use for quick meals later on.
