Description

 

Juicy chicken breasts stuffed with a creamy, cheesy mixture of cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, and crushed Doritos, baked to perfection. This indulgent dish brings all the flavors you love in a cheesy dip into a savory, crispy chicken package. Perfect for a family dinner or special occasion!


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.
