Instructions
1-Preheat the oven: Set it to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even cooking.
2-Slice the chicken breasts: Slice each of the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts horizontally to form a pocket, being careful not to cut through completely.
3-Mix the cream cheese, bacon, cheese, and seasonings: Mix 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 6 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon. Mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
4-Stuff and secure the chicken: Stuff each chicken breast with the cheese and bacon filling, then secure it with toothpicks if needed.
5-Prepare the breading: Dip the stuffed chicken in ½ cup all-purpose flour, then 2 large beaten eggs, and finally roll it in 2 cups crushed Doritos.
6-Bake the chicken: Place them on your prepared baking sheet and bake until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Let rest before serving.
