Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Coating:
- 1 bag (9.75 oz) Doritos, crushed (any flavor you prefer)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup flour
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:

Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each pocket, stuffing each chicken breast as evenly as possible.
Prepare the Coating:
- Set up a breading station: place the flour in one shallow bowl, beat the eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl, and place the crushed Doritos in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the crushed Doritos, pressing lightly to adhere.
Cook the Chicken:
- Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Serve:
