Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Servings: 6

Ingredients

• For the Base:

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)

  • 1 bag (9.75 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed (reserve some for the topping)

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup canned corn kernels, drained

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning

• The Cheesy Layer & Garnish:

  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 3 green scallions (green onions), finely chopped for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep and Preheat

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to keep your chicken casserole from sticking.

2. Mix the Creamy Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and taco seasoning. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the shredded chicken and drained corn kernels until everything is beautifully coated in the sauce.

3. Layer the Casserole

Spread half of your crushed tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Carefully spoon the creamy chicken mixture over the chip layer.

4. Add the Cheese and Crunch

Mix the shredded mozzarella and cheddar together. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the chicken layer. Top with the remaining crushed chips, and finish with the rest of the cheese for that picture-perfect, dramatic cheese stretch.

5. Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling around the edges and the cheese is completely melted and gooey.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with the freshly chopped green scallions. Let it cool for 5 minutes before scooping out a massive, steaming portion of The Ultimate Doritos Chicken Casserole. Enjoy the perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and cheesy goodness!
