Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Rotel tomatoes (undrained), cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread a layer of crushed Doritos (about 2 cups) evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the Doritos layer, spreading it out smoothly.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.
Top the casserole with another layer of crushed Doritos (about 2 cups).
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the Doritos.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
