Chicken Dorito

I have no idea where I got this recipe, specifically, but I know I picked it up on a Seattle BBS when I was going by the nym of "Sari" back in the late 1980s, and it's still floating around on the internet, here and there. It is attributed to Janet Detter Margul@ The Fifth Dimension (that's an old BBS), in Dallas. An old family favorite and you can even disguise leftover turkey with this recipe.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 3  cups  cooked chicken meat (the meat of one chicken, cooked)
• 1  lb Velveeta cheese, cubed or 1 (10 3/4ounce) can  condensed cheddar cheese soup or 1 (10 3/4ounce) can  nacho cheese soup
• 8  ounces  grated cheddar cheese
• 1 (10 3/4ounce) can  cream of mushroom soup
• 7  ounces  chopped green chilies
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped onion
• 1 (10 ounce) can  chopped Ro-Tel tomatoes
• 1 (1 lb) bag  nacho cheese flavor Doritos

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Boil and bone one chicken, so you end up with chopped chicken meat; save the broth for another recipe (not this one). You can also use canned cooked chicken or cooked chicken breasts/thighs.
3. In a microwave safe bowl, stir together the Velveeta cubes, Cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup (not with the milk, just the can of unreconstituted soup), chopped green chilies, chopped onion, and one can of chopped Ro-Tel tomatoes.
4. Microwave 2 minutes, remove and stir.
5. In a large (lasagne-sized) pan, layer: Dorito chips, chicken, cheese mixture, Doritos, chicken, cheese mixture.
6. Bake in a 375°F oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is brown and bubbly.
7. NOTE from Sari/Julesong: If you don't like Velveeta, you can use Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup instead.
