- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Coating/Topping
- 1 cup crushed Doritos chips
- 2 pieces eggs, beaten

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and cooked, crumbled bacon.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the crushed Doritos chips and beaten eggs.
- Carefully butterfly each chicken breast, creating pockets for the stuffing.
Cooking
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese and bacon mixture, sealing the edges securely.
- Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the crushed Doritos chips.
- Heat olive oil in a baking dish over medium heat.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to regain crispness. Customize with jalapeños, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter version, or gluten-free Doritos for dietary needs.
