Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the chive and onion cream cheese with the cream of bacon soup until smooth.
Stir in shredded mozzarella cheese and real bacon bits. Set filling aside.
Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to form a pocket, leaving the opposite side intact.
Spoon filling into each chicken breast and press edges gently to seal.
Place stuffed chicken in the greased baking dish.
Brush each chicken breast with beaten egg.
Sprinkle crushed Doritos over the top and press gently so they stick.
Bake for 33–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the coating is golden and crispy.
Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperature (165°F).
Grease the dish well to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
Try Flamin’ Hot or Cool Ranch Doritos for a fun twist.
To make it low-carb, substitute Doritos with crushed pork rinds or almond flour and Parmesan.
