# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

02 - Salt and pepper, to taste

03 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

05 - 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

06 - 1 cup crushed Doritos chips

07 - 2 eggs, beaten

08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

02 - Use a sharp knife to butterfly each chicken breast, creating a pocket without slicing through completely.

03 - Sprinkle salt and pepper inside each chicken breast to season.

04 - In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon until well blended.

05 - Fill each butterflied chicken breast with the cheese mixture and press edges together to seal.

06 - Dip each stuffed chicken breast into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with crushed Doritos chips, pressing to adhere.

07 - Place coated chicken breasts into the greased baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes until fully cooked and golden.

08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

01 - Ensure chicken is fully cooked by checking internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

02 - Seal the chicken well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.

03 - Use flavored Doritos chips for additional flavor customization.
