Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
- 12 ounces nacho cheese Doritos
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or a teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove from heat.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, Rotel, sour cream, taco seasoning, and sautéed onions. Mix well to evenly incorporate all the ingredients.
Step 4
Crush the Doritos into medium-sized pieces (not too fine) and layer half of them evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Step 5
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the crushed Doritos in the baking dish.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture. Then, create a second layer by adding the remaining crushed Doritos over the cheese.
Step 7
Top the dish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly for a gooey, cheesy finish.
Step 8
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling on top.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or diced green onions for added flavor.
