🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 bag (9 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon until well blended.
3. Stuff the Chicken Breasts: Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. Fill each pocket with the cream cheese mixture, and use toothpicks to secure the edges.
4. Set Up the Coating Station: Arrange three shallow bowls for coating:
   - Bowl 1: Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   - Bowl 2: Whisk together the eggs and milk.
   - Bowl 3: Place the crushed Doritos.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each stuffed chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the crushed Doritos, pressing to adhere.
6. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is crispy.
7. Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
