Description

Indulge in this Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken—a savory dish that combines tender chicken breasts stuffed with a creamy bacon filling, all coated in crunchy Doritos. It’s a perfect crowd-pleaser for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups crushed Doritos nacho cheese flavor
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Stuff the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the chicken over the filling and secure it with toothpicks if needed.
  • Coat the Chicken: Place the crushed Doritos in a shallow dish. Brush the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil. Press the chicken into the crushed Doritos, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
  • Bake and Serve: Place the coated chicken breasts in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the Doritos coating is golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
