Step-by-Step Instructions for Doritos Casserole with Chicken
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies, sour cream, and ½ cup of cheddar cheese. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix until well-combined.
  3. Pour half of the crushed Doritos into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Spoon the chicken mixture over the Doritos evenly.
  4. Top the chicken mixture with the remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle the last ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the entire casserole.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if the cheese browns too quickly.
  6. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
