Description
This creamy chicken casserole is layered with crushed Doritos and topped with cheese for a deliciously crunchy dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium bag Doritos, crushed, divided
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 and 1/4 cups sour cream
- 2 (10 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 (12 ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped chiles
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 and 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Open the Doritos bag to release the air from the bag and, closing the top of the bag, squeeze to crush the Doritos into small bite-sized pieces. If you like, you can set aside a few whole Doritos for garnishing each plate.
- Spread half of the crushed Doritos into the bottom of prepared baking dish. Set the remaining Doritos aside. You will need them later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, sour cream, drained canned corn, 1 and 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, drained tomatoes, green chiles, cream of chicken soup, ground cumin, garlic powder and chili powder. Stir until combined.
- Spread the chicken mixture on top of the crushed Doritos. I find that the easiest way to do this is to scoop it out place one dollop in each corner and two in the middle. Then, spread it out with a spoon. Otherwise, it’s tricky to get the Doritos to stay in place!
- Sprinkle remaining Doritos on top, followed by the remaining cheese. Now, you’re ready to pop this creamy chicken casserole in the oven.
- Bake in 350°F oven for 25 minutes. Cheese will be melted and the Doritos on top will be nice and crunchy when it’s done. It should also be bubbling at the edges.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding some chopped green onions or jalapeños on top before baking.
