My husband loved this recipe! He ate 7 times in a row!

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips

1 cup flour (for a gluten-free option, use a suitable substitute)

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1 1/2 cups finely crushed Doritos (any flavor of your choice)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat and prepare: Set your ingredients oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a thin layer of cooking spray.

Setting up the breading station: Set up three shallow bowls.In the first step, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the second step, whisk eggs and milk. In the third step, mix the crushed Doritos with garlic powder and smoked paprika.

Breading: Dredge each tender chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dipping into the egg mixture and finally coating well with the Doritos mixture. Ensure full coverage for the best flavor and texture.Baking: Place the fillets on the baking sheet at a distance from each other. Spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Rest and serve: Allow the tenders to rest for a few minutes after baking to retain their crispiness before serving.

Variations and tips:

Season it with various spicy Doritos and a pinch of cayenne pepper.For a lighter option, air fry at 380°F for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.
Experiment with different Doritos flavors to customize the taste.
Serve with your favorite sauce: ranch, honey mustard or a delicious homemade avocado-lime sauce are great options.
Save time with pre-cut chicken fillets from the butcher or supermarket for added convenience.
