Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 cups nacho cheese Doritos
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 medium diced onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed onion, enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced green chilies, and 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese blend. Stir until well mixed.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread 3 cups of crushed Doritos evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Pour half of the chicken mixture over the layer of crushed Doritos and spread evenly.
Add another layer of 3 cups of crushed Doritos on top, followed by the remaining chicken mixture.
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.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm.
