Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken
This recipe is the perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, and savory flavors, making it an instant favorite for weeknight dinners, family gatherings, or game-day snacking.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese ,softened
- 6 strips of bacon ,cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups of crushed Doritos any flavor, but nacho cheese works best
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten for coating
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Set this mixture aside for stuffing the chicken breasts.
- Step 3: Prepare the Chicken
- Using a sharp knife, make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to slice all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with a generous portion of the cream cheese and bacon mixture, then secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Step 4: Crush the Doritos Coating
- In a separate bowl, crush the Doritos until they resemble coarse crumbs. You can use a food processor for finer crumbs, or place them in a zip-lock bag and crush them manually with a rolling pin.
- Step 5: Coat the Chicken
- Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Press the chicken breasts into the crushed Doritos, making sure they are evenly coated with the crispy chips.
- Step 6: 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 (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
