CREAM CHEESE & BACON STUFFED DORITOS CHICKEN
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6-8 strips)
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (flavor of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare The Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 2: Make The Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Stuff The Chicken
- Take the cream cheese mixture and stuff each chicken breast pocket generously. Secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 4: Coat The Chicken
- Roll each stuffed chicken breast in the crushed Doritos to coat them evenly. Place the coated chicken breasts in the greased baking dish.
Step 5: Bake The Chicken
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165ยฐF (75ยฐC). The Doritos coating should be golden and crispy.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken!
