Creating Cheddar Ranch Chicken Tater Tot Bake is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ranch dressing, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly coated.
3. Layer Chicken: Spread the ranch chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
4. Add Tater Tots: Place the frozen tater tots on top of the chicken mixture in a single layer, covering it completely.
5. Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
7. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
8. Serve: Scoop out portions and serve warm.
