INSTRUCTION
Prepare the Oven and Dish: First things first, preheat your oven t
375°F (190°C). While thats heating up, grease a baking dish wit
olive oil to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze
Butterfly the Chicken: Next, using a sharp knife, carefully butterfl
each chicken breast. This means cutting a slit lengthwise through th
middle of the breast without slicing all the way through. You want t
create a pocket for all that creamy, cheesy filling. Season the insid
of each chicken breast with salt and pepper
Mix the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softene
cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and crumbled bacon. Mix until its al
evenly combined, making sure the cream cheese is softened to make thi
step easier
Stuff the Chicken Breasts: Take that creamy, cheesy bacon mixture an
stuff it into each chicken breast. Dont be shy! You want to press th
edges together to seal in that delicious filling
Coat the Chicken in Doritos: Now for the fun part! Dip each stuffe
chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring its fully coated. Then
roll the chicken in the crushed Doritos chips. Press the chips firml
onto the chicken to ensure they stick, giving that fantastic crisp
texture when baked
Bake to Perfection: Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in you
prepared baking dish. Slide it into the oven and bake for 25-3
minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the Doritos coatin
is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicke
should reach 165°F (74°C)
Serve and Enjoy!: Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and le
it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices settle, making eac
bite tender and flavorful. Serve it ho
NOTE
Customize the Filling: While this recipe calls for bacon, cheddar, an
cream cheese, feel free to get creative!
Add jalapeños for a spicy kick, or swap cheddar for mozzarella o
pepper jack for a different cheesy flavor
Crushing Doritos: For the best results, place the Doritos in a zip-to
bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. You want small crumbs but no
powder, so the chicken gets that perfect crunchy texture
Preventing Leaks: If youre having trouble keeping the filling insid
the chicken breast, use toothpicks to seal the edges before baking
Just dont forget to remove them before serving
