Directions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies, green bell pepper (if using), onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Layer the Casserole
- Spread a layer of the crushed Doritos (about half) evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the Doritos layer, spreading it evenly.
Step 4: Top with More Doritos and Cheese
- Sprinkle the remaining Doritos on top of the chicken mixture, then add an additional layer of shredded cheese for extra gooeyness.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
Tips and Tricks
- Add Extra Veggies: Try adding corn, black beans, or diced onions for more flavor and texture.
- Adjust the Spice Level: Use spicy Doritos or add diced jalapeños to give the casserole a little kick.
- Use Leftover Chicken: Rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or any leftover cooked chicken will work well in this recipe.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until warm, or in the microwave for a quick option.
Freezing: If you’d like to freeze the casserole, wait until it has cooled completely. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.
