Doritos Chicken Casserole

I always have the best intentions when it comes to meal planning for the week, but I’ll be brutally honest… I’m usually scrambling to figure out dinner!

It was on a haphazard school nights when I threw this incredible Doritos chicken casserole together. To my surprise, my family went wild for this flavorful and fun dish! They loved it so much that my kids often ask when I’ll be making the Doritos casserole next!

What can I say, casserole recipes just work for my family.

There’s just something satisfying about being able to skip the dinnertime fuss by putting all of my ingredients into one dish, baking, and enjoying.

Even though I complain a lot about not having time to cook, preparing meals for my family is actually something I enjoy. I know, big shocker, right?

With that said, I’m all about those quick and easy dinners a few nights a week.

There’s just no sense in stretching yourself too thin preparing a complicated dinner or having to resort to fast food when you have this simple Doritos chicken casserole recipe at your fingertips. You’re welcome! :)

I like to use a rotisserie chicken in this recipe to make it even easier, but, you can use any cooked chicken you prefer.

I have quite a few simple family recipes that utilize rotisserie chicken. In fact, don’t miss my cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole and my one pan chicken Alfredo rice.

This chicken spaghetti is also AMAZING!

I think using rotisserie chicken is such a great meal solution for busy families like mine, and there are so many ways you can transform the chicken into scrumptious meals like this amazing Doritos chicken casserole recipe.

My Doritos chicken casserole is soooo yummy, y’all. It’s creamy, flavorful, and packs such a delicious crunch thanks to those Doritos.

I mentioned that Doritos are one of my top five favorite foods ever, right? Pretty sure I had orange fingers most of my childhood. :)
