This Dorito Chicken is a family favorite! My kids loved it and my husband asked when it would be on the menu again.I guess cheesy casseroles are a favorite in my home. For this recipe, you want to start by cooking your chicken breast. This recipe is perfect for a rotisserie chicken. Once that is done you just mix everything up and top it with cheese before you bake. It’s pretty simple.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (divided)
• 1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 can Ro-tel tomatoes (drained)
• ½ packet taco seasoning
• 1 large bag Doritos
• Shredded lettuce (optional)
• diced tomato (optional)

How To Make Dorito Chicken Bake

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix together shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, Ro-tel tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Mix well.

Grease a 2-quart casserole dish, and add a layer of crushed Doritos across the bottom. Top with a layer of the chicken mixture. Add another layer of crushed Doritos, and then add another layer of the chicken mixture. Top with remaining cheese. You can add more crushed Doritos on top as well if you wish.

Cover and place into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30-25 minutes until bubbling hot. Remove from the oven and top with lettuce and tomato if you choose.
