Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 7.5 oz chive and onion cream cheese
- 10.5 oz condensed cream of bacon soup (Campbell’s brand works great)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup real bacon bits
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup crushed Doritos nacho cheese chips
How to Make Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken:
Step 1: Preheat & Mix the Filling
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, combine the chive and onion cream cheese with cream of bacon soup using an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and bacon bits until evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
Slice each chicken breast horizontally (like a book), being careful not to cut all the way through. Open each one up and spoon the cream cheese mixture onto one side. Fold the other side over to enclose the filling. Place the stuffed breasts into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3: Crush the Doritos
Add Doritos to a large Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass until you get fine crumbs.
Step 4: Coat & Bake
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the chicken breasts with the egg wash. Then sprinkle the crushed Doritos over the top and press them gently so they stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 33–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Step 5: Rest & Serve
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy hot and melty with your favorite sides!
Tips for Success:
- Use thinner chicken breasts or pound them slightly for easier stuffing.
- Don’t overstuff the chicken or it may leak while baking.
- For extra crunch, add more crushed Doritos halfway through baking.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these stuffed chicken breasts with mashed potatoes, a crisp side salad, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
