Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken – The Ultimate Crunchy, Cheesy Dinner

Okay, so imagine crispy Doritos-coated chicken, stuffed with creamy, cheesy bacon goodness… Yeah, it’s as epic as it sounds. This recipe is crunchy, creamy, cheesy, smoky—basically everything amazing in one bite. Let’s make it!

What You Need:

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon (cooked & crumbled)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• 1 bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos (or whatever flavor you love!)
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup flour

How to Make It:

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

• Slice each chicken breast like a book (but don’t cut all the way through). You need a little pocket for stuffing.
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
• Stuff the cheesy mixture into the chicken pockets, then press the edges down so nothing escapes.

Step 2: Crush the Doritos!

• Dump the Doritos into a ziplock bag and CRUSH them into crumbs (use a rolling pin, your hands, or even a can).
• Pour the crumbs onto a plate.

Step 3: Coat the Chicken

• Set up your dipping station:
  • Bowl 1: Flour
  • Bowl 2: Egg + milk (whisked together)
  • Bowl 3: Crushed Doritos
• Coat each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip it into the egg mix, then roll it in the Doritos until fully cover

Step 4: Bake or Air Fry!

• Oven: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
• Air Fryer: Spray with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway.

Step 5: EAT & ENJOY
Slice into that cheesy, crunchy goodness and prepare to be obsessed. Serve with ranch, hot sauce, or just eat it straight up. You’ve officially leveled up dinner!
