Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and monterey jack)
- 1 can corn (drained)
- 1 can rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup (10 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup milk
- Nacho cheese doritos (about a third of the bag)
- 2 green onions
Step 1: Prepare and Cook the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Butterfly two large chicken breasts by cutting them in half lengthwise to create four pieces.
Grease the bottom and sides of a casserole dish with cooking oil.
Place the chicken pieces in the dish and coat them with the oil.
Season the chicken with taco seasoning, either store-bought or homemade.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven, cover with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
After resting, dice the cooked chicken into small pieces.
Step 2: Combine Casserole Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese (reserve the rest for topping), 1 can of drained corn, and 1 can of drained Rotel tomatoes.
Add two cans (10 ounces each) of cream of chicken soup and ½ cup of milk to the bowl.
Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 3: Layer the Casserole
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a 9 by 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Crush about a third of a bag of nacho cheese Doritos and spread them evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer half of the chicken mixture on top of the crushed Doritos, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle 4 ounces of shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
Crush more Doritos and layer them on top of the cheese.
Add the remaining chicken mixture on top of the Doritos.
Crush additional Doritos and sprinkle them on top of the casserole.
Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
Bake the casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle thinly sliced green onions on top before serving.
Enjoy your delicious, cheesy Doritos chicken casserole!
