A comforting, cheesy casserole featuring creamy chicken and crunchy Doritos, perfect for family dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover grilled/baked chicken)
  • 2 cups crushed nacho cheese Doritos
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until well blended.
  3. Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish.
  4. Pour the creamy chicken mixture over the layer of Doritos, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Top the casserole with the remaining crushed Doritos, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional toppings like green onions or diced tomatoes if desired.

Notes

[‘For perfectly shredded chicken, use a hand mixer or stand mixer.’, ‘Be careful not to overbake the casserole to maintain the crunch of the Doritos.’, ‘Layer the Doritos evenly to avoid soggy spots at the bottom of the casserole.’, ‘For a spicier kick, swap regular Doritos for spicy nacho or add cayenne pepper.’]
