Ingredients
  

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup cream of chicken soup (or homemade equivalent)

1/2 cup sour cream

1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

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

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the chicken, ensuring they're well coated.

    Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.

      Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and can be shredded easily.

        Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, carefully shred the chicken inside the slow cooker using two forks. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stir until everything is evenly combined.

          Add the Tater Tots: Evenly layer the frozen tater tots on top of the chicken mixture, ensuring they cover the surface.

            Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots.

              Cook Again: Cover and cook on low for an additional 1-1.5 hours (or high for about 30 minutes) until the tater tots are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Serve: Once done, take off the lid, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Ranch Chicken Tater Tot Casserole right from the slow cooker!
