Dorito Chicken

From Ang.

Alrighty. When I’m shopping for it, I usually buy a pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts - usually about 4. For that 4, I buy a bag of Nacho Cheesier Doritos (you know, the red bag), a bag of “mexican” cheese*, and a jar of salsa. You don’t want the salsa to be too runny or else your Doritos will get soggy. Trust me, that’s not good.

*I usually buy the Kraft mix, but I’ve discovered that using cheddar cheese, grating it, and seasoning it, you get the same effect. I use garlic salt, cumin and chili powder. It works wonderfully.

Preheat the oven to 375. 350 works too, it just takes longer. This recipe is VERY forgiving, yay!

Mix an egg and some milk together to make a fairly thick liquid to cover the chicken with.

Crush the Doritos (I usually use the whole bag) VERY finely - almost to the size of breadcrumbs.

Pound out the chicken so it’s super thin. About a half inch thick is good if you can get it that thin. The pieces will end up fairly large, but it’s better that way and cooks faster.

Coat the chicken. First in the egg mixture, then the Doritos.

Bake the chicken on a baking sheet OR in a glass pan until the chicken is cooked through. It usually takes about a half hour or so for me. Sometimes 45 minutes. Just when it’s white and flaky on the inside is good.

Coat the cooked chicken in salsa and then top with cheese to “hold the salsa down” - that’s the only way I can explain it, hehe.

Put it back in the oven for 5 minutes or so - just until the cheese is all melted. Let it sit for a couple minutes to cool and eat it!

Baked Pumpkin Seeds

  • Pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted
  • Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Wash pumpkin seeds after removing from pumpkin. Soak in melted butter for 5 minutes. Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spread seeds on it, keeping seeds from touching. Sprinkle with a little salt and bake 2-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
