Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

## Ingredients

- 4 count small chicken breast

- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 3 oz cream cheese — softened

- ¼ cup Fresh jalapeño — seeded and chopped

- ¼ cup Bacon — cooked and chopped

- 2 tsp cajun seasoning — or your favorite all purpose seasoning

## Equipment

- Oven

- Baking dish

- Mixing bowl

- Instant-read thermometer

- Toothpicks

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Filling.** Mix jalapeño, cheddar, bacon and cream cheese.

2. **Stuff.** Open each breast with a lengthwise butterfly cut, keeping one edge attached. Spread filling inside, close and secure with a toothpick. Season the outsides with Cajun seasoning.

3. **Bake.** Place in a greased baking dish and bake 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Annie. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
