In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, reduce the heat to medium and add the flour. Whisk, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and foamy, about 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly, until the soup thickens. Add salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the stove. You'll use all of this in the recipe.

Spray an 8x12-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
If you're cooking chicken, cook, cool, and shred it. (Reserve the broth for your cream of chicken substitute.)
Stir together sour cream, cream of chicken substitute, green onions, corn, 2 cups Pepperjack cheese, garlic, pepper, and chicken seasoning.
Add shredded chicken and stir to combine. Pour into your prepared baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese then the crushed Doritos over the top.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350°F until hot and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
