Doritos-crusted chicken strips are a tasty and easy-to-make dish that combines the crunch of Doritos with tender chicken strips. Here’s a simple recipe to make Doritos-crusted chicken strips:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breast tenders or strips
- 1 bag of your favorite flavor of Doritos (nacho cheese or cool ranch work well)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with cooking spray or oil.
- Crush the Doritos: Place the Doritos in a large resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet. You want the Doritos to be finely crushed but not powdered.
- Prepare the coating station: In three separate shallow bowls, place the crushed Doritos, flour, and beaten eggs.
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken tender evenly with the crushed Doritos, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
- Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy the Doritos-crusted chicken strips as they are or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
- Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful goodness of Doritos-crusted chicken strips!
