NOT-SO-PRO TIPS
You can absolutely use store bought Cheddar Broccoli Tots! For me, I generally freeze about half of my homemade ones in individual servings so that when I need some, I always have them on hand. If you don’t have cooked chicken, you can boil your uncooked breast until fully cooked (usually between 10 and 20 minutes depending on thickness) and then shred easily with 2 forks.
