Sure, here’s a delicious recipe for Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken:
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups crushed Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor or your preferred flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast by slicing horizontally along the side without cutting all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese and bacon mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
- Coating the Chicken:
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl.
- In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- In the third bowl, place the crushed Doritos.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, followed by coating it thoroughly with the crushed Doritos.
- Bake the Chicken:
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve:
- Remove the toothpicks, if used, and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
