Cream Cheese & Bacon Stufted Doritos Chicken

6. Coat the Chicken
To coat the chicken, start by dredging each stuffed breast in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess. This initial coating helps the egg mixture adhere to the chicken. Next, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring that it’s fully covered. Finally, press the chicken into the crushed Doritos, coating it thoroughly. The Doritos should stick well to the egg-washed chicken, creating a vibrant, crunchy crust.
7. Bake to Perfection
Place the coated chicken breasts into your prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the Doritos coating is golden brown and crispy. To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken—it should read 165°F (74°C). Baking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your chicken breasts, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Once the chicken is fully cooked, carefully remove it from the oven and discard any toothpicks. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and moist. Serve your Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a side of your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
