Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add 1/2 diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Squeeze in 2 teaspoons of garlic in a tube and cook for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian spice seasoning, and 1 bay leaf, allowing the spices to bloom for a minute.

Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the skillet and mix to create a roux, cooking for another minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Pour in 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, whisking to combine and thicken the mixture.

Stir in 3 cups of frozen organic veggies until well combined, then turn off the heat.

Spread the chicken and veggie mixture into a greased baking dish.

Top the mixture with tater tots, covering the top in a single layer, using about 3/4 of the bag.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the tater tots are browned on top.
