Description

A crunchy, creamy comfort food classic made with layers of tender chicken, melted cheese, and bold Doritos flavor.


Ingredients

3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), drained

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend), divided

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 bag (9.75 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed

Optional toppings: chopped green onions, cilantro, jalapeños


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, Rotel, 1 cup of cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and season to taste.

Spread half of the crushed Doritos into the bottom of the baking dish.

Pour the chicken mixture over the Doritos layer and spread evenly.

Top with the remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional toppings if desired.

Notes

Add black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.

Swap Rotel for salsa if preferred.

Make it spicy by using Spicy Nacho Doritos or adding a few dashes of hot sauce.
