Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough
   In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then stir until a dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until soft and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Filling
   In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fold in the sliced jalapeños for that spicy kick.

3. Assemble the Loaves
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Divide the dough into 3–4 equal portions (depending on your loaf pan size). Roll each portion into a rectangle. Place a generous scoop of the filling in the center, then fold the dough over the filling like a package—pinching the seams closed and placing seam-side down in a greased mini loaf pan.

4. Add the Topping
   Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with more shredded cheese and a few extra jalapeño slices.

5. Bake
   Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Let cool slightly before removing from the pans.

Final Touch:

These cheesy jalapeño-stuffed loaves are irresistibly soft on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. They’re amazing on their own, but also go great with a side salad, soup, or dipping sauce like ranch or marinara. Whether you enjoy them warm out of the oven or reheat them later, they never disappoint.

One bite in, and you’ll be hooked on the gooey, spicy, cheesy goodness. Perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself! 💛🔥
