Dorito Chicken Sandwich

Don’t just eat them straight from the bag

I created this recipe for Dave and Joe Herbert, the winners of the 2009 Dorito Super Bowl commercial, when they were guest on The Cooking with Caitlin Show . It was a hit with the Herbert brothers and if you like Doritos I have a feeling you will love this chicken sandwich as well.

 

cooking information

• Yield: 4 sandwiches
• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cooking Time: 10 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 lb Cleaned, Chicken Breast, Scallopini (Thinly sliced chicken)
• 1 Large Bag of Dorito’s Nacho Cheese Chips
• 2 cups Flour
• 3 Eggs
• 2 Tb Butter
• ½ lb Bacon
• Lettuce
• Tomato
• 8 Slices Crusty Italian Bread

recipe instruction

1. In a food processor blend your nacho cheese chips into bread crumb consistency. Place in a small mixing bowl.

2. Create 2 more stations. 1 bowl of flour, another of whisked eggs.

3. Prepare the rest of your ingredients; cook your bacon, slice your bread and tomatoes, clean your lettuce.

4. Preheat a large sauté pan to medium high heat. Once it is preheated add your butter.

5. To cook the chicken you first must dredge both sides in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally in the nacho chip crumbs. Add to your sauté pan. Do the same with the rest of your chicken.

6. Because the chicken is so thin it will only take about 2 minutes to cook on both sides. Once the chicken is cooked, set aside.

7. To assemble the sandwiches first place the chicken on the bottom of the sandwich. Next add your bacon, lettuce, then your tomato.

8. Slice in half, serve and enjoy.

cooking tips

• Dorito’s Nacho Cheese flavor is my favorite but you could always substitute the Cool Ranch, Jalapeno Popper, or your own favorite flavor to this recipe.
• If you can’t find the pre-sliced chicken breast you can always just slice fresh chicken breast in half length wise. Next place it between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to pound it with either a mallet or just the bottom of a small sauté pan.
• This is a great recipe to use any chips that may have gone stale. Blend and store in an air tight container.
