Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

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

1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the ranch seasoning mix. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before shredding.

      Mix the Base:

        - In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, remaining ranch seasoning, and frozen mixed vegetables. Mix until well combined.

          Layer in the Crockpot:

            - Pour the chicken mixture into the bottom of your crockpot, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken mixture.

              Add Tater Tots:

                - Carefully layer the frozen tater tots on top of the cheesy chicken mixture. Ensure they are spread out evenly to get a nice crispy top once cooked.

                  Cook:

                    - Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The tater tots should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.

                      Finishing Touches:

                        - Once done, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the tater tots and cover for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

                          Serve:

                            - Scoop portions into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your cozy and comforting meal!
