Add 1 cup of diced onions and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are translucent.

Turn the stovetop to low heat and add 4 ounces of cream cheese and 21 ounces of cream of chicken soup, mixing well.

Season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.

Add 12 ounces of frozen mixed vegetables and mix everything together.

Transfer the creamy chicken and veggies to the prepared casserole dish.

Top with 32 ounces of frozen tater tots.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes until the base is bubbly and the tater tots are cooked through.
