Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or fresh)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 bag (9.75 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, slightly crushed
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for creamier texture)
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup corn, 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and milk (if using). Add salt, pepper, and any optional add-ins.
  3. Spread a layer of crushed Doritos on the bottom of the prepared dish.
  4. Pour half the chicken mixture over the Doritos layer and spread evenly.
  5. Add another layer of crushed Doritos followed by the remaining chicken mixture.
  6. Top with a final layer of Doritos and sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  8. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor.
  • To keep Doritos crunchy, add the top layer halfway through baking.
  • Make it spicy with jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.
  • Great for meal prep—assemble ahead and refrigerate or freeze before baking.
