Nacho Cheese Dorito Chicken

"My friend shared this recipe with me, and I was so reluctant because I don't even like Doritos, but she insisted I try it, and my whole family LOVED it. It is moist and has such a great flavor and even smells yummy cooking! Now I make it often. I pound the breast to flatten them and make them cook faster."

Questions & Replies

  1. Can I use egg instead of mayo to coat the chicken?
     
  2. Hellman's or Kraft mayonnaise?
     
  3. I'm confused by a few of the reviews. Does the recipe call for Italian Seasoning or Italian Dressing Seasoning (ex:Good Seasons)?

Reviews

  1. i used ranch with cool ranch Doritos and turned out AMAZING.
     
  2. This wasn't bad, but it didn't have the Dorito taste I was hoping for. And the coating was a little soft, probably because of the melted butter that was poured over the chicken breasts. Probably won't make it again
     
  3. Let me start by saying, my husband is a professional chef, but I wanted to surprise him with something easy and tasty for dinner and he loved it! He did suggest to pepper the chicken before the mayo step for a bit more flavor, I used Chicken thighs because that's what I had in the house along with Doritos. It turned out very juicy- I did add the butter as well but had excess fat in the pan and could have easily left it out or reduced. However the chicken was very succulent. For thighs I baked at 375 for forty minutes.
     
  4. This one is a keeper. I used thighs instead of breast. The thighs were .39 per pound, and the breasts were 1.99 per pound. Also, our whole family likes the dark meat. It was simple and delicious. We all really liked it.
     
  5. Nothing we didn't like about this recipe. I did cut it back to serve 2 people. No issues there. :)

Tweaks

  1. Didn’t add In the Italian seasoning but added shredded cheese on top of the chicken during the last 5 mins. Of cooking so it turned out a little extra cheesy too haha.
     
  2. I made this tonight for dinner and my mom and my niece loved it.
     
  3. -used chicken thighs -would recommend peppering chicken before mayo step -baked at 375 for 40 minutes -could skip butter for thighs
