I had heard of this recipe before, but never tried it. Today I gave it a shot. While you can bake this in the oven, I turned mine into a crockpot recipe.
2 to 3 cups diced cooked chicken, or raw if using the crockpot
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can rotel
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1 bag (medium size, about 6 ounces) bag of Doritos, crushed
Directions for the oven
Grease or spray a 2-quart casserole dish. Cover bottom of casserole with half of the crushed Doritos. Mix all other ingredients , except cheese ,and place on Doritos. Put remainder of crushed Doritos on top of this. Add cheese on top. Ready to bake ! Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes.
Directions for the crockpot
Place chicken in crockpot (I used 3 frozen boneless chicken breast).
Combine the other ingredients except for the Doritos. Pour over chicken. Cover, cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. When ready to serve top with crushed Doritos.
The verdict!!!
I thought this recipe was a keeper. Jon thought it could use a little more hot sauce, but it was spicy enough for me. If I were to make this in the crockpot again, I would add the sour cream & cheese at the very end. I think it would make for a smoother sauce. I served it over rice with some corn. I thought the chi-chi's corn cake stuff would have made an excellent side to this dish. Maybe next time!
