Chicken Dorito Casserole

This was good, but the recipe I've been tweaking for 30 years is better. Just sayin'.2 lbs. (or more) Chicken (whole, thighs, or breasts. I'll boil a whole chicken; I'll Instant Pot thighs or breasts) 1 onion, a few cloves of garlic (you choose your level), 1 large can green enchilada sauce, corn tortilla chips (something a little bigger than a regular size bag of Doritos, crushed), 1-1/2lb. good cheddar cheese, (shredded), 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 can cream of chicken, 1 can Rotel. I like to cook the chicken with onion and garlic in the green enchilada sauce in the Instant Pot (stove top or oven would work, too). Shred or dice the chicken once done (reserve the sauce so you can thin the soup/Rotel mix till the mix smoothly falls off the mixing spoon. Also, you can add some of the cooked onions and garlic to the casserole if you wish to increase the flavor). Mix the soups and the Rotel. Layer crushed chips, sauce, chicken, then cheese in the casserole dish. Should be 2 layers. For the cheese, 1/3 cheese on first layer; 2/3 cheese on the top. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes covered with foil. Uncover and cook longer, approx. another 30 minutes, it's done when the cheese is perfectly browned. Perfect side is buttery corn, kernels or on the cob.

I made it with Cream of Chicken soup instead of Mushroom Soup, added scallions and salsa I didn’t have tomatoes. Instead of layering I put Doritos on the bottom and mixed the rest and poured on top. The last 5 minutes I added more cheese to the top. My family loved it, easy recipe.

I followed this recipe but used cream of chicken soup and did not use the corn (due to picky children). The results were just ok Adding more Creole spice to the water you boil the chicken in would have been better Vague instructions so 1 tbsp to how much water? I covered the chicken with water and when finished cooking, I couldn’t taste any of the seasoning Also, the casserole was drier than I like Needed more rotel/cream of chicken to saturate the chicken and chips It’s a good recipe...with a little tweaking :)
