The weeks leading up to Christmas are crazy busy for our family. We have many added obligations such as kiddos concerts, holiday gatherings, birthdays and end of year books on top of the usual already full schedule. When things get hectic, it’s easy to get take out or swing through the drive through. Living in a small town we don’t have a lot of restaurant options (which can be good or bad, depending on your perspective). I typically find it to be a good thing, it forces me to cook at home which is more economical and usually a healthier option.
With all the rushing around we often get home right in time for dinner, putting a quick yet delicious meal on the table is essential. In these moments I’m pleased to have this Doritos Chicken Casserole recipe, it fits the requirements of quick and delicious.
Use leftover or rotisserie chicken and this meal can be on your table in 30 minutes with minimal work. Super easy to assemble and bursting with flavor…I mean, how could it not…the bottom layer is Doritos. Yum!
