Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 2 cups Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor recommended), finely crushed / Arteflame DIY Dorito powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Olive oil, for brushing
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your Arteflame Grill to a medium-high heat. Make sure the cooktop is clean and lightly oiled.
   • In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
   • In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
   • Place the crushed Doritos / Arteflame DIY Dorito powder in a third shallow dish.

2. Coat the Chicken:

   • First, coat each chicken breast lightly in the flour mixture. This helps the egg wash stick to the chicken.
   • Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated.
   • Finally, press each chicken breast into the crushed Doritos / Arteflame DIY Dorito® powder, ensuring it's well-coated on both sides.

3. Grill the Chicken:

   • Brush each side of the Dorito®-coated chicken breasts with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and to help achieve a crispy texture.
   • Place the chicken on the Arteflame Grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and the Doritos® crust is crispy and golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

4. Serving:

   • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after removing it from the grill. This helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken moist and tender.
   • Slice the chicken breasts into strips, if desired, and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

5. Enjoy:

   • Serve your Dorito®-Crusted Grilled Chicken hot, accompanied by your choice of sides. This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad, grilled vegetables, or a creamy dip.

Chef's Note:

• For an extra kick, choose a spicy flavor of Doritos® or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
• To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating.
