Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (9.25 ounce) bag Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos, lightly crushed
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, taco seasoning, and chopped onion. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate small bowl, toss the lightly crushed Doritos with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the buttered Doritos evenly over the top of the casserole mixture.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/4 cup of diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- You can substitute ground beef for chicken; brown 1 pound of ground beef and drain the fat before mixing it into the sauce.
- If you prefer a different chip flavor, use Cool Ranch Doritos for a variation.
- To make this a layered Dorito casserole, place half the chips on the bottom, then the filling, then the remaining chips on top.
