Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp garlic paste or minced garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce (Asian section of grocery store)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken breasts into nugget size pieces, put them in a bowl and add the soy sauce and garlic. Toss until evenly mixed and marinate for half hour.

  2. Beat the egg in a bowl.

  3. Pulse the Doritos in a food processor until they are a breadcrumb consistency. Put them in a separate bowl.

  4. Dip each chicken nugget in the egg mixture, then into the Doritos crumbs. Use your fingers to press the crumbs into the chicken.

  5. Place the chicken nuggets on a wire baking rack (recommend spraying the rack with nonstick spray) over a lined baking sheet and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.

    Note: If you don't have a wire rack, just place them right on the lined baking sheet.

  6. Bake the chicken nuggets in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.

  7. Mix together the sweet chili sauce and ranch dressing, serve with the chicken as a dipping sauce.
