Crunchy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor, this Doritos Chicken Casserole layers creamy chicken, zesty salsa, and gooey cheese between crisp Doritos for a satisfying, family‑friendly dinner.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (14.5 oz) bag nacho‑cheese Doritos, lightly crushed
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 1½ cups salsa (or a can of Rotel, drained)
  • 1 (15.25 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • Optional: 1 tsp taco seasoning or chili powder (for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13‑inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheese, salsa, corn, both soups, sour cream, and taco seasoning (if using). Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Pour the chicken mixture over the chips in the dish.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle the remaining Doritos and 1 cup of cheese on top.
  7. Return to oven and bake for 5–7 minutes more, until cheese is melted and chips are crisp.
  8. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days in the fridge.
  • Can be frozen up to 2–6 months. Thaw in fridge overnight.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (covered with foil) until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes.
  • For added spice, swap salsa for Rotel tomatoes (with green chiles) or add taco seasoning, chili powder, or jalapeños.
  • Make it vegetarian by replacing chicken with beans (like black or pinto beans).
  • Use Cool Ranch or Spicy Doritos for unique flavor profiles.
