Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups crushed Doritos
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine crushed Doritos, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, coating it completely, and then press it into the Doritos mixture, making sure it is evenly coated on all sides.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
