→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

05 - Set up a breading station with three dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and crushed Doritos.
06 - Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and press into Doritos for an even coating.
07 - Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
08 - Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
