Cream Cheese & Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken

Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through; just enough to stuff the filling inside.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2: Make the Stuffing
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Mix until well combined.
Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese mixture, packing it in tightly. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, place the crushed Doritos chips.
Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Roll the chicken in the crushed Doritos chips, pressing down to make sure the coating sticks well.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 5: Serve
Remove the toothpicks from the chicken before serving.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
