To make this mac and cheese casserole, I started by melting some butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Once the butter was completely melted I added some all purpose flour to the pot.
I stirred until the butter and flour were completely combined and then left them to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then I added some milk to the pot and stirred well.
I added some uncooked macaroni to the pot and stirred again.
Then I brought the liquid to a boil.
Once the liquid started to boil I covered the pot with a lid and left the macaroni to cook for three minutes, stirring occasionally.
After three minutes, I reduced the heat to low and stirred the macaroni well.
I added some condensed chicken broth and shredded chicken to the pot.
I stirred well again and then added some Philadelphia Whipped Chive Cream Cheese, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the pot.
I stirred until the cream cheese was completely melted.
Then I added some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the pot.
I stirred the shredded cheese into the pasta and then poured the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish, being sure to spread it out evenly.
I sprinkled some crumbled Doritos on top of the pasta.
Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the Doritos.
