Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp olive oil ((extra virgin))
1/4 cup yellow onion ((diced - or white onion))
21.5 oz cream of chicken condensed soup ((2 10.75-ounce cans))
10 oz RoTel diced tomatoes with green chilies

  • After stirring the sauce, add the softened cream cheese and stir until it's melted then add the drained black beans and shredded, cooked chicken meat. Stir to combine and evenly coat the chicken with sauce. *If you'd like some of the optional cilantro in your chicken casserole, stir it in with the chicken and beans.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Doritos Flavor: Consider the flavor profile you're aiming for. Classic Nacho Cheese Doritos offer a mild, cheesy flavor, while Spicy Nacho Doritos add a kick of heat. Cool Ranch Doritos provide a tangy, refreshing twist.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh chicken breasts or thighs for a tender, juicy texture. Use shredded cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of both.
  • Layer Wisely: Arrange the ingredients in distinct layers for a visually appealing and flavorful casserole. Start with a layer of Doritos chips, followed by chicken, cheese, and a creamy sauce. Repeat the layers until you reach the desired height.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake the casserole at the recommended temperature and duration stated in the recipe. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking, as this can dry out the dish.
