• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup crushed Doritos (Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Stuff the Chicken:
   • Take each chicken breast and make a pocket by slicing it horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
   • Stuff each chicken breast with the cream cheese and bacon mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed.

Tips:
