What I Love About This Recipe

There’s nothing better than a meal that is both delicious and nutritious.

• From start to finish in less than 40 minutes
• Two types of cheese!
• You don’t have to cook meat with rotisserie chicken
• Kid-pleasing, mom-approved meal

Ingredients That You’ll Need:

• Taco Seasoning – In order to give this Chicken Dorito Casserole its Mexican flavor, you will need some taco seasoning. If you have some on hand, you can use that. If not, you can make your own.
• Doritos – You need Doritos for this casserole, obviously! I suggest getting a party-size bag of original nacho cheese flavor. If you feel adventurous, you can experiment with the other flavors.
• Chicken – For this recipe, you’ll need about 3 cups of cooked chicken. It can be either shredded or chopped, depending on what works best for you.

How do I crush the Doritos?

Place your chips in a plastic bag and place it on a folded dish towel on the counter. Just gently bash it with a meat tenderizer mallet, rolling pin, or even a can of tomatoes until it resembles bread crumbs. Cut them into roughly a half-inch chunks. The roughest of the rough.

How Do I Shred Chicken?

Put the chicken on a cutting board after it’s been cooked, then use two forks to shred it. On the other hand, some folks like to use a hand mixer to shred cooked chicken that they’ve placed in a mixing bowl.

Can I Use Ground Beef Instead Of Chicken?

In order to make a Beef Dorito Casserole, simply replace the chicken with cooked ground beef in place of the chicken. Some flavor change is inevitable, but the end result is delicious. Grounded poultry, pork, or turkey would also work.

Can I Make Chicken Dorito Casserole Ahead?

Chicken Dorito Casserole includes rotisserie chicken, which greatly reduces the cooking time. However, if you’d want to speed things up even more, you may prepare the filling up to four days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as directed when you’re ready to eat.

How To Make Pioneer Woman Chicken Dorito Casserole?

• Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Next, you want to add the butter to a medium skillet and melt it over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the soup, sour cream, cheese, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine.
• Into the mixing bowl, add the chopped chicken, Rotel tomatoes, green chiles, black beans, corn, onions, and garlic. Stir until evenly combined.
• Put the Doritos in a bag and crush them with your hands into medium-sized pieces. You don’t want tiny crumbs.
• Spread half of the crushed Doritos in a 9×13 baking dish, then pour the chicken mixture over it, spreading it out evenly. Don’t just pour it from the bowl as it will push the chips apart.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Once the casserole is baked, remove it from the oven. On top, with the remaining Doritos in an even layer, followed by the cheese. You can use as much cheese as you want.
• Return the Chicken Dorito Casserole to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted
• Sprinkle your casserole with chopped parsley and serve warm. If you want, you can add a dollop of sour cream on top of each serving.

What To Serve With Chicken Dorito Casserole?

Chicken Dorito Casserole is a complete meal in itself, so, if you choose to eat another dish, I would suggest:

• Ramen Noodle Salad
• Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
• Crisp green salad
• Green Beans
• Roasted tomatoes
• Creamed Peas And Potatoes

How To Reheat Chicken Dorito Casserole?

Cover your Chicken Dorito Casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. You can also reheat single servings in the microwave, 1 minute, stir, and then 30-second intervals until heated through.
