Do you ever find yourself craving a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the savory goodness of bacon with the creamy delight of cream cheese? Look no further! Our Bacon-Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast is a mouthwatering recipe that’s both simple to prepare and sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/4 cup Pepperjack cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
• 4 to 8 pieces of bacon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   Begin by cutting each chicken breast into four equal-sized pieces. To ensure even cooking, gently pound each piece until it reaches about 1/4″ thickness.
2. Create the Creamy Filling:
   In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, and shredded Pepperjack cheese. Take 1/4 of this delightful mixture and place it in the center of each piece of chicken.
3. Roll and Wrap:
   Roll up each chicken breast, starting from the long side, ensuring the cheese mixture stays in the middle. Next, wrap 1 to 2 slices of bacon around each chicken breast. For extra flavor and crispiness, secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed. One piece of bacon is sufficient, but for an outstanding experience, go for two!
4. Bake to Perfection:
   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. For that golden brown and crispy perfection, broil the topside for about 5 minutes. Flip each breast and broil for an additional 3 minutes to crisp up the bottom side.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   Once out of the oven, let your Bacon-Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken rest for a moment. Then, remove the toothpicks and marvel at your culinary creation. Serve it up and enjoy the perfect blend of juicy chicken, creamy cheese, and crispy bacon.

This simple yet spectacular dish is a winner for family dinners, gatherings, or when you want to treat yourself to a delightful meal. Give it a try, and get ready to savor the flavors of this Bacon-Wrapped Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken!

Bringing Your Dreams to Life

Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making this authentic brioche bread. We’ll guide you through each stage, so don’t worry if you’re new to bread-making. We’ve got you covered.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup heavy cream (at room temperature)
• 1 cup milk (plus 1 tablespoon, at room temperature; you can use whole, 1%, or 2% milk)
• 1 large egg (at room temperature)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (you can also use 1/2 cup cake flour combined with 3 1/2 cups bread flour)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• Egg wash (beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon water)
• Simple syrup (1 tablespoon sugar, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water)

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the ingredients in the following order: heavy cream, milk, egg, sugar, cake flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt. Turn on the mixer to “stir” and knead for 15 minutes, occasionally stopping the mixer to push the dough together. If the dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl, add a little more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it pulls away from the sides (it should be sticking to the bottom of the mixing bowl, but not the sides). If kneading by hand, extend the kneading time by 5-10 minutes.
2. Next, cover the dough with a damp towel, and place it in a warm spot until it doubles in size (approximately 1-2 hours). We proof our dough in a closed microwave with a mug of just-boiled water next to it.
3. In the meantime, grease two baking vessels on all sides with butter. You can use two standard loaf pans, two 9-inch (23cm) round pans, or 1 loaf pan and 1 round pan.
4. After the dough has doubled in size, put it back in the mixer and stir for another 5 minutes to get rid of air bubbles. Dump the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it in half.
5. To make loaves, shape each dough half into a rough rectangular shape, cut it cross-wise into three roughly equal pieces, and place in the loaf pan. Alternatively, you can cut each dough half into 8 pieces, roll them into balls (or ropes that you can twist into buns), and put them in a round pan. You can also make 2 loaves, 16 rolls, or 1 loaf and 8 rolls. Once shaped, let the dough proof, covered, for another hour.
6. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat it to 350° F/175°C. Brush the risen dough with egg wash. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush the warm bread with sugar water to give it shine and sweetness.

Enjoy the delightful and fluffy milk brioche rolls! They are perfect for breakfast or for enjoying with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Indulge in the soft, buttery texture and the sweet aroma. You can also slice them and use them as a base for delicious sandwiches or toast them and spread some jam or butter on top. The possibilities are endless!
