My friend shared this recipe with me, and I was so reluctant because I don't even like Doritos, but she insisted I try it, and my whole family LOVED it. It is moist and has such a great flavor and even smells yummy cooking! Now I make it often. I pound the breast to flatten them and make them cook faster.

Place the coated chicken strips on the baking sheet. Do this with the remaining chicken strips. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
