Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
Season the chicken breasts inside and out with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and parsley.
Spoon the mixture evenly into each chicken pocket, pressing lightly to ensure the filling stays inside. You can use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
Place flour in one shallow bowl.
In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In a third bowl, add the crushed Doritos.
Dip each stuffed chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with crushed Doritos. Press the crumbs gently to help them stick.
Step 4: Bake the Chicken
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve with a side of ranch dressing, hot sauce, or a simple green salad for a balanced meal!
