Instructions

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

- For extra flavor, try different Doritos flavors or add hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve with a side of ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
