5-6 slices of crispy, cooked bacon
4 chicken breasts, seasoned with 1 ½ T. ranch dressing mix, cooked and shredded
3 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ T. ranch dressing mix
1 T. lemon juice mixed with 1 cup (dairy-free buttermilk substitute)
1/2 cup dairy-free sour cream substitute
1 bag frozen tater tots or round hash brown potatoes
1 1/2 cups dairy-free shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Salt & Pepper

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray or grease 9x13 glass or ceramic baking dish.

In a small saucepan, melt margarine. Whisk together buttermilk substitute and cornstarch. Add to margarine. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken. Add 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream substitute and ranch dressing mix. Let cook 1 to 2 minutes.

In the baking dish, layer the chicken, then sauce, then half of the cheese, then tater tots.

Bake 15-20 minutes until potatoes are crispy and golden. Top with remaining cheese and crumbled bacon, then bake again approximately 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
