Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken 🥓🧀

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)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Chicken:

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

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.

Stuff the Chicken:

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, pressing the edges to seal.

Coat the Chicken:

Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and the crushed Doritos in a third.

Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then press into the crushed Doritos, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Bake:

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and crunchy Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken!
