    Ensure milk is warm (about 105-115°F or 40-46°C), not hot, to properly activate the yeast.

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

    A slightly warm, turned-off oven can provide an ideal environment for dough to rise. Punch down gently when risen.

    While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken. Cut 300g chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, 1/2 tsp hot pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

    Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure it browns nicely rather than steaming.

    In the same pan (or a clean saucepan), melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in 120ml milk and 50ml dairy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in 150g shredded cheddar cheese until it's completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
