Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crushed Doritos
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crushed Doritos, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Carefully cut a slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket for the stuffing.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure it stays inside the chicken.
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with additional salt and pepper.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a crunchier topping, sprinkle extra crushed Doritos over the stuffed chicken before baking.
- You can substitute the Doritos with tortilla chips for a similar crunch.
- To make this dish even more flavorful, try adding some chopped green onions or jalapeños to the cream cheese mixture.
