Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked, diced chicken
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or sub with a can of condensed cheddar cheese soup)
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained (such as Ro-Tel or Red Gold brand)
  • 1 (8.75 ounce) can corn, drained
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1-2 cups grated cheddar cheese, Colby Jack cheese, cheddar Jack cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (9.25 ounce) bag Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos tortilla chips, coarsely crushed

Notes

Crock Pot Method: I prefer the oven for a crispy topping, but you can also layer the ingredients in your slow cooker if that’s easier. You will need to cook the casserole on LOW for about 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 1-2 hours, just until everything is heated through and bubbly. Add the final Doritos on top just before serving (you don’t want to add them too soon or they’ll get soggy).
