  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup softened cream cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cups crushed cheese-flavored corn chips (crushed into fine crumbs)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon milk

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1-First, cut a pocket into the side of each of the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts without going all the way through. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup cooked bacon, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper to make the stuffing. Stuff each pocket evenly with this mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed for bacon stuffed chicken recipes.

2-Next, set up your breading stations: one with 2 cups crushed cheese-flavored corn chips, another with 1 cup all-purpose flour, and a third with a mix of 2 beaten eggs and 1 tablespoon milk. Coat each stuffed chicken breast by dipping it first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally pressing it into the crumbs for that signature cream cheese bacon stuffed Doritos chicken texture.

3-Cooking and Finishing Steps: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle, enhancing the flavors in your cream cheese chicken dish.
