Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 cup green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Season with salt and pepper.

    Mix the Ranch Base: In a medium bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Stir until well blended.

      Layer the Ingredients: Pour the ranch mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.

        Add Veggies: Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the top of the chicken mixture.

          Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

            Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the crockpot.

              Mix in Cheese: Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and mixed nicely.

                Add Tater Tots: Gently arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture in the crockpot.

                  Final Cook: Cover and cook on high for an additional 1 hour until the tater tots are golden and crispy. If desired, sprinkle more cheese over the tater tots during the last 10 minutes of cooking and cover to melt.

                    Serve: Once the tater tots are crispy and the cheese is melted, scoop the casserole onto plates and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

                      Enjoy your delicious and comforting Creamy Ranch Tater Tot Delight!
