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.

I placed the dish in the oven and baked the casserole just until the cheese on top was completely melted.

This cheesy chicken and pasta casserole is sure to please both children and adults.
