Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Gently pound out each chicken breast until thin, making sure they are wide enough to roll.
  3. Spread a spoonful of cream cheese in the center of each chicken breast.
  4. Crumble crispy bacon and sprinkle it over the cream cheese.
  5. Fold the sides of the chicken over the filling and roll it up tightly, securing with toothpicks.
Coating

  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk.
  3. Dip each chicken roll into the egg mixture, then coat with crushed Doritos, pressing to make them stick.

  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.

Notes

These stuffed chicken rolls can be stored in the fridge for about 2 days. They can also be frozen for up to a month. To reheat, use an oven or an air fryer. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy chips.
