Dorito chicken casserole is an easy chicken casserole that my family loved.  This is a cheesy chicken dish that has the crunch of Doritos and the spice of rotel tomatoes.

Notes

Can this casserole be frozen?
Assemble the recipe up until adding the Dorito topping and wrap tightly with foil. When you are ready to bake it add the crushed Doritos and extra cheese. Re-cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until it is cooked thoroughly and bubbling, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour. 
 
Can you use rotisserie chicken in this casserole?
If you are in a pinch or a hurry and don't have precooked, shredded chicken a rotisserie chicken will work in this casserole recipe. The flavor profile of the rotisserie chicken may alter the final results of the dish but I assure you, it will be delicious. If you have a few extra sous vide chicken breasts in the fridge, they can be used in this recipe.
