  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Rotel, taco seasoning, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until well blended.
  3. Take a handful of crushed Doritos and spread them evenly on the bottom of your greased baking dish.
  4. Pour the creamy chicken mixture over the crushed Doritos, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture, then add another layer of crushed Doritos.
  6. Place the casserole in your preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Serve your casserole hot, garnished with optional toppings like green onions, sour cream, or hot sauce.
