1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread half of the crushed chips in the bottom of an 8-inch or 9-inch square or 11 x 7-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, stir together chicken, condensed soup, tomatoes and green chilies, sour cream and taco seasoning. Spread the chicken mixture on top
of the chips in the dish. Sprinkle with cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.
3. Remove the cover, sprinkle remaining crushed Doritos over top, and return to the oven (uncovered) for 5-7 more minutes, or until the casserole is hot

Recipe Notes
Write list…
• I typically use a rotisserie chicken, leftover cooked chicken from a previous meal, or store-bought cooked chicken (like
Tyson Grilled and Ready)
for a shortcut. If you prefer, you can cook your own chicken breast to use in this recipe. You’ll need about 2 lbs. of raw boneless skinless chicken breasts
to equal 4 cups of cooked, diced chicken. Boil the chicken until cooked through (about 15-18 minutes). When cool enough to handle, shred with two forks
or dice into bite-sized pieces.
• We like the Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos with the taco seasoning in this dish, but you can substitute with Cool Ranch Doritos for another flavorful
chicken casserole recipe.
• While this dish is not spicy, the diced tomatoes with green chilies do have a little bit of “kick.” If you prefer a mild casserole, substitute with a
can of regular petite-diced tomatoes.
• Crockpot Doritos Chicken Casserole: I prefer the oven method for a crispy topping, but you can also layer the ingredients in your slow cooker if that’s
easier. You will need to cook the casserole on LOW for about 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 1-2 hours, just until everything is heated through and bubbly. Add
the final Doritos on top just before serving (you don’t want to add them too soon or they’ll get soggy).
• Tortilla Chips Casserole: Skip the Doritos and use plain tortilla chips of your choice. It will still be delicious!
• Chicken Dorito Pie Recipe: Instead of baking the casserole in a square dish, use a round 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
