Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Saute chicken tenders in a 10-12" skillet over medium heat until lightly golden, about 5 - 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and cover with foil.
Saute chopped onion, and garlic in butter, until onions are translucent. Stir in canned soup and broccoli.
Shred or chop chicken tenderloins and add to skillet. If your skillet is oven-safe, continue on to the next step. Otherwise, add the mixture to a round or oblong casserole dish.
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly across the top. Then top the casserole with a layer of tater tots.
Bake at 375º uncovered for 30 minutes, until the tater tots are golden brown and the edges of the casserole are bubbly. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream, sliced green onion, or parsley.
