Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1 cup crushed Doritos
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil. Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined and creamy.
- Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the cream cheese mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed.
- Roll each stuffed chicken breast in the crushed Doritos, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the coated chicken in the greased baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the Doritos coating is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm.
