    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

    When cool, gently mix in remaining ingredients except the 1 cup of parmesan cheese.

    With your hands, form rectangles the shape of a traditional tot. The batter will be loose at first, but they will firm up in your hands, being shaped.

  6. 6

    Set each tot in a cast-iron skillet until you are done, with about 12 tots.When done, add 1 cup of parmesan cheese to a shallow bowl and carefully pat each tot in the 1 cheese so that each side of the tot is coated.

    Place back in the cast-iron skillet and bake for 15 minutes, flip, then bake for 5 more minutes.

  8. 8

    While the tots are baking, gently mix all of your chicken ingredients until creamy and well-combined.

  9. 9

    Remove the cast-iron skillet from the oven and carefully add the chicken mixture all around the tots and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken mixture is bubbly and the tots are golden in color.

    Serve immediately with optional additional cilantro storing any leftovers in a glass container for up to 3 days.
