Crock Pot Chunky Tots

I have noticed an increase in using tater tots in recipes, which is a good thing in my eyes because it is inexpensive and yummy!!! I came across a few different recipes using them in a crock pot. Almost all of them contain bacon and chicken breast which I love. I tried a few of them and in my opinion they were not quite what I was looking for but really close. So I started experimenting with different seasonings. I also noticed that the chicken breast was kinda dry so I tried using thigh meat which was perfect! This was my creation! I hope you like it!
