Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups nacho cheese-flavored Doritos, 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
Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff the Chicken
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each chicken pocket.
Use toothpicks to secure the pockets if needed.
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with the crushed Doritos, one with the flour, and one with the beaten eggs and milk.
Bread the Chicken
Roll each stuffed chicken breast in the flour.
Dip in the egg mixture.
Coat with the crushed Doritos, ensuring an even layer.
Cook the Chicken
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Bake the Chicken
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Serve
Carefully remove the toothpicks.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
