★Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling:
   In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
3. Prepare Chicken:

• Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
• Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

1. Stuff Chicken:

• Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each chicken breast.
• Fold the chicken over to enclose the filling, securing with toothpicks if needed.

1. Prepare Breading:

• Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beat the egg in another, and place the crushed Doritos in a third bowl.
• Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess.
• Dip in the beaten egg, then coat with crushed Doritos, pressing gently to adhere.

1. Cook Chicken:

• Heat a skillet with a bit of cooking oil over medium heat.
• Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the filling is hot.

1. Serve:
   Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.

Enjoy!
