- 1 cup crushed Doritos
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Using a sharp knife, butterfly each chicken breast to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Season the inside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon until well combined.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese mixture, then press the edges together to seal.
- Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Roll the chicken in the crushed Doritos, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the crust is crispy and golden.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy! 😋
