Doritos Chicken Casserole

I'm starting to think that I'm just a really picky eater.  Ok, I've always been a picky eater.  I've also always been a trusting person, so maybe that's the real problem.  There were so many comments on this recipe stating how amazing it was and everyone seemed so excited about it.  Naturally, I HAD to try it for myself.  It's not that it was bad by any means, but it definitely wasn't as great as I had expected. 

As always, I got overly excited to get back into the kitchen and try yet another new dish.  I knew I didn't have much time since it was another night of baseball, so with the time crunch this dish was perfect.  It was super easy to make and only took 30 minutes to cook.  Another bonus to that was there was very little clean up... a big favorite of mine.  I knew I was taking a risk because none of my kids like tomatoes, but they're old enough now that they can just pick out the pieces they don't like.  My daughter didn't like it at all, but ate most of it to be polite.  She and I both loaded it with sour cream just to give it some extra flavor.  My son said that he liked it a lot, BUT he only ate maybe half of it.  I'm pretty sure he just didn't want to hurt my feelings.  I've told them that I need their honest opinions for my blog, but he's just that type.  My 3 year old son mainly picked out the Doritos and wanted to be done, go figure.

For me I just felt that it was lacking something.  I enjoyed the crunch of the Doritos mixed in with the chicken and sauce, but it was almost too much of the same flavors.  Nothing really stood out to me.  Will I make it again?  Probably.  Just next time I will have to put my own twist to it.  I will say that its a very filling dish and that part I love.  Usually by now I'm wanting a snack, but I really don't think I'd have room and dinner was 5 hours ago.

I guess looking back, I can see how people would like this and I'd suggest trying it for yourself.  Like any food, you can always think of something you'd personally do different.
