I always have the best intentions when it comes to meal planning for the week, but I’ll be brutally honest… I’m usually scrambling to figure out dinner!
It was on a haphazard school night when I threw this incredible Doritos chicken casserole together. To my surprise, my family went wild for this flavorful and fun dish! They loved it so much that my kids often ask when I’ll be making the Doritos casserole next!

I like to use a rotisserie chicken in this recipe to make it even easier, but, you can use any cooked chicken you prefer.
I have quite a few simple family recipes that utilize rotisserie chicken. In fact, don’t miss my cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole and my one pan chicken Alfredo rice.
This chicken spaghetti is also AMAZING!
I think using rotisserie chicken is such a great meal solution for busy families like mine, and there are so many ways you can transform the chicken into scrumptious meals like this amazing Doritos chicken casserole recipe.
