Dorito Chicken and Cheese Casserole
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
1 bag (10-12 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional garnish: chopped fresh cilantro, green onions, or jalapeños
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Prepare Sauce:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, Rotel tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. Stir until everything is well combined.
Assemble Casserole:
In the greased baking dish, layer half of the crushed Doritos on the bottom.
Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the Doritos.
Pour the creamy soup mixture over the chicken, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Top with More Doritos:
Add the remaining crushed Doritos on top, followed by the final cup of shredded cheese.
Bake:
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, or jalapeños, if desired, and serve warm.
