Can I substitute the soup?

Absolutely! If cream of mushroom isn’t your thing, just use more cream of chicken or even cream of celery for a veggie-forward twist.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay good for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave—but maybe add a few fresh chips on top to bring the crunch back.

Can I freeze this casserole?

Yes! Just a quick tip—don’t add the Doritos until right before baking. Freeze the chicken mixture in a sealed container or baking dish, and when you're ready to enjoy, thaw, top with fresh crushed Doritos, and bake as usual.

How long is chicken casserole good for?

In the fridge, a cooked chicken casserole will last about 3–4 days when stored properly in an airtight container. If it starts smelling funky or looking watery, it’s time to let it go.

What side goes with Dorito casserole?

This casserole is pretty rich, so a light side works great! Try a crisp green salad, roasted veggies, or even some simple steamed broccoli to balance the bold flavors.
