1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), or prepare a frying pan with oil for stovetop cooking.

2. Prepare the filling:

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and chopped cooked bacon until well combined.

3. Slice the chicken:

Carefully cut a pocket in the side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.

4. Stuff the chicken:

Fill each pocket with a generous amount of the cream cheese-bacon mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if needed.

5. Prepare the breading stations:

In one shallow dish: place the flour.

In a second dish: beat the eggs.

In a third dish: combine crushed Doritos with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

6. Coat the chicken:

Dredge each stuffed breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the crushed Doritos mixture. Press gently to adhere.

7. Cook the chicken:

Oven-bake: Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F).
