Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 10 cups (crushed) Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 1 can (10 oz) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, then cook them in the skillet until they are no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and shred the chicken using two forks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and taco seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the first layer.
Pour the chicken mixture over the layer of Doritos and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the chicken mixture.
Top with the remaining crushed Doritos, spreading them evenly over the casserole.
Finish by sprinkling the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Dorito Casserole with Chicken!
