  • 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.
