Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz Philadelphia Chive Whipped Cream Cheese
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8.75 oz canned corn, drained
  • 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups Doritos, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to get it ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Soup: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Philadelphia Chive Whipped Cream Cheese and condensed cream of chicken soup. Use an electric mixer to whip them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Green Onions: Set aside 1/4 cup of the chopped green onions for topping. Add the remaining green onions to the mixing bowl with the creamy mixture.
  4. Incorporate Chicken, Corn, and Seasonings: Add the shredded cooked chicken, drained canned corn, 2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese blend, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish lightly to prevent sticking. Pour the mixed casserole filling into the dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Add Doritos Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled Doritos over the surface of the casserole for a crunchy topping layer.
  7. Add Cheese and Green Onions: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend on top of the Doritos, followed by the reserved 1/4 cup of chopped green onions to add flavor and color.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes or until the cheese on top begins to brown and bubble.
  9. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this rich and flavorful Doritos chicken casserole hot.

Notes

  • Adjust the baking time depending on your oven; watch for the cheese to brown but not burn.
  • You can substitute regular cream cheese for the chive whipped version if desired, but the chive adds a nice flavor.
  • Using freshly cooked chicken enhances the flavor, but leftover or rotisserie chicken works well too.
  • Feel free to swap Doritos flavors for different tastes, such as Cool Ranch or Spicy Nacho.
  • This casserole is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
