Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the crushed Doritos with shredded cheddar cheese. Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the Doritos mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
Tip: Crush the Doritos finely to create a more uniform coating.
4. Baking the Chicken
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the coated chicken breasts on the sheet, spacing them out to ensure even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Tip: For extra crispiness, you can spray the coated chicken lightly with cooking spray before baking.
5. Serving
Carefully remove the toothpicks if used. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
Tip: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispy coating. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the coating soggy.
