Doritos Chicken Breasts

Craving a unique twist on classic baked chicken? Try these Doritos Chicken Breasts! The combination of creamy cheese, spicy jalapeños, and crunchy Doritos makes this dish a hit at any dinner table.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup crushed Doritos, any flavor
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons jalapeños, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup flour

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Stuff the Chicken Breasts: Make a deep cut along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff the pockets evenly with the cheese mixture, ensuring they are well-filled but not overflowing.
4. Coat the Chicken: Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes – one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the crushed Doritos. Dip each stuffed chicken breast first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the crushed Doritos, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well.
5. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a greased baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the crust is golden and crispy.
