Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken: A Flavor Explosion!

Prepare the Chicken:
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Make the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

Stuff the Chicken:
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the cream cheese and bacon mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if necessary.

Coat the Chicken:
In a shallow bowl, place the beaten eggs. In another shallow bowl, add the crushed Doritos chips. Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly in the crushed Doritos.

Cook the Chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Bake the Chicken:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted inside.

Serve:
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra crumbled bacon or fresh herbs if desired.
