Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup green chilies, diced (fresh or canned)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it rest for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually stir in the yeast mixture and olive oil until a dough forms.

    Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

      Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chilies, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

        Assemble the Stuffed Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each rectangle.

          Shape the Bread: Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Place the stuffed bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet seam-side down.

            Bake the Bread: Brush the tops of the stuffed breads with a little olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

              Serve: Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
