Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 2 cups crushed Doritos (any flavor)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. **Preheat the Oven**
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. **Prepare the Chicken**
– Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being cautious not to cut all the way through.
3. **Make the Filling**
– In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
4. **Stuff the Chicken**
– Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket. Press the edges together to seal the filling inside.
5. **Coat the Chicken**
– Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed Doritos.
– Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
– Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
– Press the chicken into the crushed Doritos, coating it evenly with the crumbs.
6. **Bake**
– Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
7. **Serve**
– Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
