Cheesy Chicken Dorito Casserole

Today, I have something for you that is similar to the poppy seed chicken recipe that I have shared with you before. It has more of a Mexican flair and incorporates Nacho Cheese Doritos! I must say I was really surprised at how crunchy the Doritos stay after baking in the oven. Cheesy goodness served over rice! This cheesy chicken Dorito casserole is delish!

I am a Canbassador for Cans Get You Cooking. This cheesy chicken Dorito casserole is a great “Cantry” recipe that utilizes Ro*Tel, Cream of Chicken Soup, and Olives.  I love to keep a well stocked “Cantry” including canned soups, tomatoes, beans, fruit, and vegetables. It makes it easy to get dinner on the table.
