Ingredients

▢ 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
▢ 11.5 ounces Nacho Cheese Flavored Dorritos, 1 bag
▢ 1 cup flour
▢ 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
▢ 4 egg whites

Equipment

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut chicken into thin 1/2 inch strips.
Using a food processor or rolling pin, crush the Doritos so that they are a texture coarse like bread crumbs. Set aside in a large bowl.
Mix the flour and salt in one bowl and eggs in another. Whisk the eggs so that they are well scrambled well.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Set up the four bowls in order: 1. bowl with the chicken 2. bowl with the flour and salt 3. bowl with the beaten eggs 4. bowl with the crushed Doritos.
Lift out a few chicken strips and place them in the flour so they are all coated. Lift the chicken strips out of the flour and shake off any excess. Place them in the eggs and turn them so they are evenly coated. Lift them out of the egg and then place them in the crushed Doritos - again so they are even coated. Place the coated chicken strips on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken strips.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes

I'll try the nacho cheese doritos for my wife. I've done this before with Fritos (my fave) and some spices (cumin, cayenne, garlic salt, pepper, paprika, etc.). Just have to go easy on the spices if there are "short people" eating them, too (my 2 girls). The oil in the Fritos give them a great crunch as I'm sure is the case with the Doritos. Thanks for your recipes from a "dude" who loves to cook.

My kids would love this! ?

mercedes says:

What temp on the oven?

Cyd says:

In the directions it says to Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Kristi says:

Fantastic idea... Sure to please my picky eaters!!!! Any thoughts on trying other flavors, like Cool Ranch?

Cyd says:

We are Cool Ranch lovers so that sounds delicious to us! Let us know if you give it a try! :)

Heathre says:

Is it better to use egg whites than eggs or just the yolk?

Cyd says:

For this recipe you want to use just the egg whites.

Sarah says:

I tried this tonight after finding the link to the recipe from your weekly meal plan -- and I loved it! It was a hit with my boyfriend, too. I've never been successful at anything with bread-crumbs for some reason, but this worked and I was half-expecting to fail at it. Yum! We ate it with ranch and siracha sauce. :)

Amanda says:

What sides did you fix with this?

Cyd says:

We usually have some type of a salad and a fruit or veggie. You can go to our main blog page and in the top right corner under categories you can click on salads or side dishes. That will give you some ideas. Hope this helps! :)

I made this tonight for dinner and my kids LOVED it! Dinnertime has been so stressful lately because there isn't one meal that they all like. My extremely picky and hard to please 6 year old went back for thirds! This will be a regular on our menu from now on. Thanks for sharing.

My kids loved these! My VERY picky 6 year old went back for a third helping!

Tiffany Floyd says:

Oh my goodness....its a hit! I made this for dinner tonight and my picky kids, who fight me tooth and nail to try any new foods, devoured them! I'm pretty sure my husband had four pieces! I was pretty over the moon myself. I made a big pan thinking we'd have plenty of leftovers and there wasn't a single one left! It does my mama's heart good to see my kids completely clean their plates of something I made! We found ourselves a keeper.

Rachel says:

Just tried this tonight and the whole family loved it. Only thing I found odd was calling for 2 cups of flour for the chicken. I had so much leftover flour after coating all the chicken. Probably could have easily gotten away with 1 cup and still been able to coat it all evenly. Just my 2 cents! Delicious recipe, thank you!
