This was good, but the recipe I’ve been tweaking for 30 years is better. Just sayin’. 2 lbs. (or more) Chicken (whole, thighs, or breasts. I’ll boil a whole chicken; I’ll Instant Pot thighs or breasts) 1 onion, a few cloves of garlic (you choose your level), 1 large can green enchilada sauce, corn tortilla chips (something a little bigger than a regular size bag of Doritos, crushed), 1-1/2lb. good cheddar cheese, (shredded), 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 can cream of chicken, 1 can Rotel. I like to cook the chicken with onion and garlic in the green enchilada sauce in the Instant Pot (stove top or oven would work, too). Shred or dice the chicken once done (reserve the sauce so you can thin the soup/Rotel mix till the mix smoothly falls off the mixing spoon. Also, you can add some of the cooked onions and garlic to the casserole if you wish to increase the flavor). Mix the soups and the Rotel. Layer crushed chips, sauce, chicken, then cheese in the casserole dish. Should be 2 layers. For the cheese, 1/3 cheese on first layer; 2/3 cheese on the top. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes covered with foil. Uncover and cook longer, approx. another 30 minutes, it’s done when the cheese is perfectly browned. Perfect side is buttery corn, kernels or on the cob.
Chicken Dorito Casserole by J.Davis 1019. This is very similar to the result of my tweaking a similarly titled recipe.
I made it with Cream of Chicken soup instead of Mushroom Soup, added scallions and salsa I didn’t have tomatoes. Instead of layering I put Doritos on the bottom and mixed the rest and poured on top. The last 5 minutes I added more cheese to the top. My family loved it, easy recipe.
I love it so simple and effective. I have experimented a bit and added bottled capsicum of a bit of extra I did add onions but the do not work at all!
Way too many chips for our tastes. Kids liked it okay. I think they got more chips in a week than they did the rest of the year!
My picky family loved this it was a total hit! I did make a few changes to suit our taste. I used a chicken taco seasoning packet instead of creole mix to boil the chicken, reserving some of the seasoning packet to add to the chicken afterward. I used cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom and I added cilantro cumin onion and garlic powder to the soup/corn/tomato mixture. I also used Cool Ranch Doritos instead of Nacho cheese flavor. I added the reserved seasoning to a few tablespoons of sour cream and mixed it in with the shredded chicken. Served it with sour cream and chopped green onions.
I followed this recipe but used cream of chicken soup and did not use the corn (due to picky children). The results were just ok Adding more Creole spice to the water you boil the chicken in would have been better Vague instructions so 1 tbsp to how much water? I covered the chicken with water and when finished cooking, I couldn’t taste any of the seasoning Also, the casserole was drier than I like Needed more rotel/cream of chicken to saturate the chicken and chips It’s a good recipe…with a little tweaking 🙂
It was great and my husband loves it! It’s even better as left overs the next day! I didn’t make any changes to the recipe but thought of added refried beans the next time.
Good but will add more spices next time!
This is a great, easy to put together recipe. The only change that I made was using Cream of Chicken Soup instead of the Cream of Mushroom Soup. Simply because I did not have the latter on hand.
The taste of this dish was delicious and the gkids loved it but it seemed dry . Could someone tell me was I supposed to add water to the soup ? As in this case I did not use water just the can of soup . Thank You in advance ( :
11 13 16 … http://allrecipes.com/recipe/230787/chicken-dorito-casserole/ … This is (pretty much) my tweaked version of this … http://allrecipes.com/recipe/230788/dorito-casserole/ … Who knew? All this time? Huh. 😀
I thought this would of been more moist. My husband liked it so i will probably make it again.
It was just ok.
Did not like it at all
This was the Mexican chicken recipe I was looking for!
Made this using taco meat and the cream of mushroom soup. Topped with lettuce and tomato and sour cream. Was a yummy taco salad! Kids loved it. Found out new taco Tuesday recipe. Or for when you have leftover chicken or taco meat. Will do with chicken and fajita seasoning next time.
It sounds really weird but it was so good!!!
Love it! Big hit with my family, will definitely make it again
Just made this dish tonight! Used twice the amount of cheese to make it extra cheesy and also cream of chicken instead of mushroom. Came out great with lots of leftovers.
Excellent recipe ! My husband and teenage son loved it! I will try it with ground beef next time!
