Creamy, Crunchy Chicken Enchilada Casserole image

I combined many parts of many chicken enchilada recipes and came up with this one. It's very versatile. You can use grilled chicken strips instead of chicken breasts, salsa instead of enchilada sauce, other flavors of Doritos, soups, or cheese. You can add corn or chopped olives. Whatever you like!

Tips:

Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the cooking process easier and help the chicken to cook evenly.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will help the chicken to cook quickly and evenly.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help to create a crispy coating on the chicken.
Pan-fry the chicken until it is golden brown. This will help to seal in the juices and create a crispy coating.

Add the chicken to the sauce. Stir to coat the chicken in the sauce.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. This could include rice, pasta, or vegetables.
