2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, green chilies, Rotel tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Crush Doritos: Place the Doritos in a resealable plastic bag and gently crush them into smaller pieces using your hands or a rolling pin.

4. Layer Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9×13 inch baking dish, start by creating a layer of crushed Doritos at the bottom. Next, spread a portion of the chicken and cheese mixture over the Doritos. Repeat this layering process, alternating between Doritos and the chicken mixture, until all ingredients are used.

5. Add Broth: Before baking, pour the chicken broth evenly over the assembled casserole. This will help keep the dish moist and flavorful during baking.

6. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

7. Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Fiesta Chicken Casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
