Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place bacon pieces in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels. Crumble once cool enough to handle.
Step 2
Season chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Grease the bottom of a slow cooker with bacon grease and layer 1/2 of the potato nuggets on the bottom. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the bacon bits. Mix Colby cheese and Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl and sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Add chicken in 1 layer and top with 1/2 of the remaining cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining bacon bits and top with remaining potato nuggets. Sprinkle rest of the cheese mixture on top and pour milk over everything.
Step 4
Cover the slow cooker and cook on High until chicken is cooked though and cheese has melted, 3 to 5 hours.
