The Best Healthy Dorito Chicken Casserole Recipe


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 bag (11 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick of heat)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your casserole will cook evenly and develop a delicious golden-brown crust.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breasts with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, Greek yogurt, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This sauce will be the foundation of your casserole, binding all the flavors together.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Spread the seasoned chicken in an even layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken, making sure to cover all the pieces. Top the casserole with the crushed Doritos, pressing them down gently to help them adhere. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the Doritos.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the Doritos to ensure they don’t burn; they should be golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let It Rest: Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly, creating a delightfully creamy and cohesive dish.
