Dorito Chicken Casserole

Well, I got past my first post. Hopefully it went well for everyone. Now comes the next part of the challenge: figuring out what to post for my first recipe. That actually turned out easier than I expected. I found this particular recipe through one of my fb contacts. After the first read through, I figured it would be worth a shot.

3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of corn, drained
1/4 cup minced onion
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 medium sized bag of nacho cheese Doritos, crushed


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Spread the bottom of the pan with half of the Doritos . Reserve one cup of cheese. Mix together remaining ingredients in a large bow. Pour chicken mixture over the Doritos. Top casserole with the remaining cheese and Doritos. Bake 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Results

Talk about a good recipe to make. I give a big thumbs up for the time and ease of this recipe.
 All I needed to do to make this recipe was brown up some chicken (I've heard you can use Rotissary Chicken in this. Does any one know if it tastes just as good?), mix ingredients in a bowl, throw it in a pan and bake. I was done in under 20 minutes. The only reason it took 20 minutes was because I had to defrost chicken and hand grind the block cheese we had.

The best part was everyone was willing to try it. My fiance, Jeb, gave it a big thumbs up and went in for second helpings.  My daughter, Katherine gave it a try. However, the only thing she would eat without coaxing was the corn. I thought for sure she would have like the Doritos, but that goes to show what happens when I try to peg her tastes. I did not think it was a bad recipe. Cheese is always good with me and anything that doesn't require a lot of my time gets a big thumbs up.

All in all, this recipe would get another go here. I would probably make a small change to it. I would substitute Tortilla chips in place of the Doritos in order to try get Katherine to eat this casserole. My fingers are crossed that it will help.

As always, feedback, suggestions and comments are always welcome. Until next time, think spring.
