# Ingredients:
→ Chicken Base
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
4 strips bacon
03 -
Salt and pepper to taste
→ Cheese Filling
04 -
1 cup cream cheese, softened
05 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 -
1/4 cup chopped green onions
07 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
08 -
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
→ Coating
09 -
2 cups crushed Doritos
10 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika
11 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts until they're even in thickness. Cut a pocket into the side of each breast to create space for the filling.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, cilantro, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until everything is well blended.
03 -
Spoon the cheese mixture into each chicken pocket. Try to distribute it evenly between all four pieces. Press the edges of the chicken together to seal in the filling.
04 -
Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed chicken breast. If needed, secure with toothpicks to keep everything in place during cooking.
05 -
Place the crushed Doritos on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each bacon-wrapped chicken breast in the crushed chips, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
06 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the coated chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is crispy.
07 -
For extra crunch, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning the Doritos coating.
08 -
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the juices inside. Remove any toothpicks before serving.
