Description

A comforting, creamy, and cheesy chicken casserole layered with crunchy nacho cheese Doritos, sweet corn, salsa, and a blend of cheeses—baked until bubbly and golden on top.


Ingredients

  • 1 (9.25-ounce) bag nacho cheese Doritos, crushed (reserve 1½ cups for topping)
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) can southwest corn, drained
  • 1 cup mild chunky salsa
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 4 cups fiesta blend shredded cheese (use 3 cups in filling, 1 cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Crush the Doritos and spread all but 1½ cups in the bottom of the dish.
  3. Whisk together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine drained corn, salsa, shredded chicken, 3 cups of cheese, and the soup mixture.
  5. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the Doritos layer in the dish.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved 1½ cups of Doritos on top, followed by the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap southwest corn for Mexicorn for added flavor.
  • Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut for busy nights.
  • Cool Ranch Doritos offer a fun twist on flavor.
  • Freeze casserole without toppings and add them just before baking.
