Step by Step Instructions for Making Doritos Chicken Casserole

Then I added some shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped green onions, canned corn, shredded cheese and seasonings to the bowl.

If you don’t want to buy a grocery store rotisserie chicken you can cook your own chicken.

I used a rubber spatula to stir all of the ingredients together until fully combined.

FAQS:

How should I store my Doritos Casserole with Chicken?

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Be aware the casserole will have a different texture when reheated due to the Doritos softening but it’s still delicious.

What substitutions could I make?

If you’re looking to make substitutions in a Chicken Doritos Casserole, here are some options you can consider:

Protein substitution: Instead of chicken, you can use other proteins such as ground beef, ground turkey, or shredded pork. You can also make it vegetarian by using plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh.
Cheese substitution: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or use a combination of cheeses. Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack are all great options. If you prefer a milder flavor, mozzarella can work as well.
Doritos flavor: While I used classic Nacho Cheese, you can try different flavors of Doritos to add variety. Cool Ranch, Spicy Sweet Chili, or even a mix of flavors can give your casserole a unique twist.
Vegetable additions: Enhance the nutritional value and taste of the casserole by adding vegetables. Chopped bell peppers, onions, black beans, or diced tomatoes can all be excellent additions to the dish.
Seasonings and spices: Feel free to customize the flavors by adding different seasonings and spices. Taco seasoning, cumin, paprika, or chili powder can add a delicious kick to the casserole.
Toppings: Don’t forget about the toppings! Consider adding sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, sour cream, or fresh herbs like cilantro for added freshness and texture.

Remember to adjust cooking times and temperatures based on the substitutions you make, as different ingredients may require different cooking requirements. Feel free to get creative and tailor the recipe to your taste preferences and dietary needs.

When serving Doritos Chicken Casserole, here are some delicious sides that complement the dish:

Green Salad: A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the casserole. Consider using mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a light dressing.
Mexican Rice: Serve the casserole alongside some flavorful Mexican rice. The rice will absorb the delicious flavors of the casserole and provide a nice texture contrast.
Refried Beans: A classic side dish in Mexican cuisine, refried beans pair well with the Doritos Chicken Casserole. You can make them from scratch or use canned refried beans for convenience.
Guacamole and Tortilla Chips: Add some extra zing to the meal with a side of homemade guacamole and crispy tortilla chips. The creamy guacamole complements the flavors of the casserole while the chips add a satisfying crunch.
