Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Nacho cheese-flavored Doritos
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the Doritos in a large zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet. Transfer the crushed Doritos to a shallow dish.
Step 3
In a separate shallow dish, mix the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Step 5
Take each chicken breast and pat it dry with paper towels. Begin by dredging the chicken in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken into the egg wash, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
Step 7
Finally, press the chicken into the crushed Doritos, firmly pressing so the coating adheres evenly. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
Step 8
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Step 9
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with non-stick cooking spray to help the crust crisp up during baking.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Lil Mrs G's Dorito Chicken with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of veggies!
