🧂 Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (any flavor)
- Cooking spray or oil
🔥 Preparation:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper until creamy and well combined.
- Stuff the Chicken: Cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing all the way through. Fill each pocket with the cheese and bacon mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Coat with Doritos: Roll the stuffed chicken breasts in crushed Doritos, pressing gently to coat all sides.
- Bake: Place in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. The result? Crispy outside, creamy inside, and irresistibly good!
