Ever had one of those days where you're tired, starving, and your brain just screams, “CHICKEN… but make it weird”? Same here 😅. That’s how this Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos Chicken happened.
It’s crunchy, cheesy, and wrapped in the kind of bacon hug that makes everything okay for a minute. Think juicy chicken breast loaded with creamy cheese, crispy bacon, and yep — crushed Doritos. Not the salad kind. The glorious snack-food-you-hide-from-the-kids kind.
Perfect for weeknights when you want something loud, satisfying, and kinda absurd. It’s not your grandma’s chicken casserole — unless your grandma was wild and had a thing for cheesy chips. So let’s make dinner interesting again, shall we? 😋💥
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1½ cups crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 egg, beaten
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a baking dish like it’s your ex’s voicemail.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, bacon bits, cheddar, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
- Carefully slice each chicken breast to create a pocket — not all the way through. We’re making boats, not halves.
- Stuff each pocket with the cream cheese mix. Yes, overfill it a bit. Live a little.
- Press the stuffed chicken into the beaten egg, then coat in crushed Doritos like it owes them money.
- Place in your baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden, crunchy, and bubbling with cheesy dreams.
- Garnish with parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Or just dig in straight from the pan. No judgment.
