Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crushed Doritos chips
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and black pepper to preference
- Optional: chopped green onions
- Optional: sour cream
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with a light coating of olive oil.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese and crumbled bacon until uniformly combined.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly each chicken breast to create a cavity for stuffing, then season each with salt and pepper.
- Generously fill each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture, pressing the edges together to secure the filling.
- Dip each stuffed breast into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off before coating completely in crushed Doritos.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the coating has turned crisp and golden.
- Allow to cool briefly before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices to the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
