Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb/450 g)
- 1 8 oz/225 g package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup 100 g cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 ½ cups 150 g shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups 200 g crushed nacho cheese Doritos
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp 30 ml milk
Instructions
Prep Filling
- I mix 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup chopped bacon, 1 ½ cups shredded cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp smoked paprika, and ¼ tsp black pepper until smooth for this simple recipe.
Stuff Chicken
- I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment. I butterfly 4 chicken breasts, spoon filling into each, fold, and secure with toothpicks for this Doritos-crusted chicken.
Coat Chicken
- In a dish, I beat 2 eggs with 2 tbsp milk. In another, I add 2 cups crushed Doritos. I dip each chicken breast in egg, then coat with Doritos, pressing gently for this flavorful chicken dinner.
Bake Chicken
- I place chicken in the baking dish and bake for 30–35 minutes until 165°F (75°C) internally and golden for this Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken.
Notes
- Use finely crushed Doritos for best coating adhesion
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra spice
- Cool completely before storing; reheat in oven to keep crust crispy
- Can be frozen after baking for up to 2 months
- Pairs well with Mexican rice or avocado salad
