Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°(F). Spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soup, cream cheese, shredded cheese, milk, ranch dressing, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper until well combined.
- Stir the chicken into the sauce until evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.

- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until tater tots are golden brown and cheese bubbles around the edges.

Notes
Use 1 cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, skin removed and meat shredded or cubed. You can also use canned cooked chicken. Use 2 or 3 cans (9.75oz), drained. In total you’re looking for 1-1.5lbs of cooked chicken.
Spiciness (heat) level, as prepared, is about a 3 out of 10. Add another 4 oz of cream cheese to make thicker and to cut down on spiciness.
