Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Make the Creamy Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, drained Rotel, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and taco seasoning. Stir in shredded chicken and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Casserole: Layer half of the crushed Doritos on the bottom of the greased dish. Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly over the chips. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle the remaining Doritos over the top, and bake uncovered for another 5-10 minutes until crispy and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy: Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.
You can use any flavor of Doritos you like, but Nacho Cheese gives the best flavor.
Add a side of salsa or guacamole for extra flavor.
You can prepare the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake.
