Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups Frozen tater tots
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Add the cooked chicken to the mixing bowl and stir until evenly coated in the creamy mixture.

Step 6

Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture, ensuring full coverage.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the tater tots.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tater tots are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
