Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup corn (optional)
Topping
- 1 bag (about 9.75 oz) nacho cheese Doritos, crushed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and optional corn. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Layer Doritos: In a greased baking dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly on the bottom to create a crunchy base layer.
- Add Chicken Mixture: Pour the chicken mixture over the Dorito base and spread it out evenly across the dish.
- Top with Remaining Doritos: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Doritos evenly over the chicken mixture to add a crispy topping layer.
- Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the Dorito layer for a gooey, cheesy finish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving to let it set for easier slicing.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient option.
- Add sliced jalapeños or diced green chilies for extra spice and heat.
- For added texture, consider mixing in black beans or diced bell peppers.
- Serve with a side of coconut rice for a complete meal.
