Pour half of the chicken mixture over the layer of crushed Doritos and spread evenly.

Step 7

Add another layer of 3 cups of crushed Doritos on top, followed by the remaining chicken mixture.

Step 8

Top with the remaining 2 cups of crushed Doritos and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
