Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this irresistible recipe! Crispy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor, these Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken breasts are perfect for dinner or entertaining.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 cups crushed Doritos (your favorite flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing along the side without cutting all the way through.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions until well combined.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture and secure the edges with toothpicks. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for crushed Doritos.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with crushed Doritos, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove toothpicks before serving and enjoy!
Serving Suggestion: Pair with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Experiment with different Doritos flavors to customize the taste.
- For extra crunch, spray the chicken lightly with cooking spray before baking.
