Doritos Crusted Chicken Strips

Doritos Crusted Chicken Strips

Ingredients

4    chicken breast ( boneless, skinless )
2    cups    flour
4    egg whites
1/2    tablespoon    garlic salt
12    ounces    tortilla chips, nacho-flavor ( large bag of Doritos )

Directions

Cut the chicken into thin ½ inch strips.

Using a food processor, crush the Doritos so that they are a texture coarse like bread crumbs. Set aside in a large bowl. (If you don't have a food processor, make a small hole in the Doritos bag and get the air out of it. Then use a rolling pin and crush the chips in the bag).

Place flour in one bowl and eggs in another. Whisk the eggs so that they are well scrambled.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Set up the four bowls in order: 1. bowl with the chicken, 2. bowl with the flour, 3. bowl with the beaten eggs, 4. bowl with the crushed Doritos.

Lift out a few chicken strips and place them in the flour so they are all coated. Lift the chicken strips out of the flour and shake off any excess. Place them in the eggs and turn them so they are evenly coated. Lift them out of the egg and then place them in the crushed Doritos - again so they are even coated. Place the coated chicken strips on the baking sheet. Do this with the remaining chicken strips.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Mine is ranch and BBQ sauce!
