Layer the base ingredients

• Add the tater tots to the slow cooker.
• Top with the diced chicken breast.
• Sprinkle over the crumbled bacon and the ranch seasoning.
• Add the shredded cheese.

Mix the base

• Give everything a quick stir to combine.

Make the cheese sauce

• Whisk the cheese soup together with the milk until smooth.

Pour over and mix lightly

• Pour the cheese sauce over the chicken and tater tots.
• Stir gently, without overmixing, so the sauce seeps down while cooking.

Cook

• Cover and cook on high until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F.
• For whole chicken breasts, cook a little longer; on low, double the time.

Serve

• Spoon into bowls and serve hot.
