Cream Cheese and Turkey Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken
This Cream Cheese and Turkey Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken is a flavorful, crispy, and savory dish that brings together tender chicken, creamy cheese, smoky bacon, and crunchy Doritos for a perfect meal!
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup softened cream cheese
1/2 cup crumbled cooked turkey bacon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups crushed nacho cheese-flavored Doritos
2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare the Stuffing:
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, crumbled turkey bacon, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stuff the Chicken:
Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, making sure not to slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with the cream cheese and turkey bacon mixture. Use toothpicks to seal the chicken if needed.
Coat with Doritos:
Press the crushed Doritos onto the stuffed chicken breasts, ensuring the coating sticks to the cream cheese mixture.
Bake:
Place the stuffed and coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the Dorito coating is crispy.
