Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
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.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
Add the cooked chicken to the mixing bowl and stir until evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the chicken mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the tater tots.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tater tots are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
