This is pretty much a dump and go recipe. You do need to saute the onion briefly to soften it, but then you just mix all the ingredients together. Put the mixture in a 9X13-inch pan, layering it with crushed Dorito chips and shredded cheese. Just 30 minutes in the oven and you’re ready to eat.

Crushed Doritos

The Dorito chips add a crunchy texture and bold flavor to this easy chicken casserole. There are so many great flavors of Doritos available. Instead of Nacho Doritos try using Cool Ranch, Flamin Hot Nacho, or Salsa Verde.

Cheesy Dorito Chicken Casserole is an easy family meal.

There is so much cheesy, crunchy goodness in this casserole.

What To Serve With Chicken Dorito Casserole?

Use rotisserie chicken to make this meal a breeze to make.
Ranch Doritos can be used instead of Nacho.
