Description

Chicken Dorito Casserole is a cheesy, crunchy, and comforting dish featuring shredded chicken mixed with creamy soup and sour cream, layered with crunchy nacho cheese Doritos, and baked until bubbly. This casserole is perfect for an easy and satisfying family dinner with a Tex-Mex twist.

Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup corn (optional)

Casserole Assembly

  • 1 bag nacho cheese Doritos (about 9.75 oz), crushed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to warm up while you prepare the casserole ingredients.
  2. Combine chicken mixture: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and corn if using, ensuring a creamy and uniform mixture.
  3. Layer Doritos: Spread half of the crushed nacho cheese Doritos evenly across the bottom of a baking dish to form the first crunchy layer.
  4. Add chicken mixture: Pour the chicken mixture over the first layer of Doritos, spreading it out evenly to cover the chips.
  5. Top with remaining Doritos: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Doritos evenly over the chicken mixture, creating a crunchy topping base.
  6. Add cheese topping: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole for a gooey, cheesy finish.
  7. Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set and be enjoyed safely.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
  • Add jalapeños or chopped green chilies to the chicken mixture for an extra spicy kick.
  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or celery soup for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables to balance the meal.
