Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and the can of cream of chicken soup. Stir until evenly mixed and smooth.
In the prepared baking dish, spread a layer of crushed Doritos (about half of the bag) to form the base layer.
Spread the cooked chicken evenly over the crushed Doritos. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken, spreading it out to cover.
Top with the remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle an additional 50 grams of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this cheesy, crunchy dish with a side salad or steamed vegetables!
