- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly across the bottom. Pour the chicken mixture over the Doritos, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top.
