- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup crushed spicy nacho cheese-flavored tortilla chips (such as Doritos® Spicy)
- 1/3 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven-proof rack on top of a baking sheet.
- Beat egg, water, and cayenne pepper together in a shallow bowl. Mix nacho cheese-flavored chips, bread crumbs, and black pepper together in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken into egg mixture until coated; transfer to chip mixture and press to fully cover on both sides. Place coated chicken on the wire rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
