Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or a teaspoon of olive oil.
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.
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.
Crush the Doritos into medium-sized pieces (not too fine) and layer half of them evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the crushed Doritos in the baking dish.
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.
Top the dish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly for a gooey, cheesy finish.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling on top.
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.
