Chicken and Broccoli Braid
Beautiful braided crescent roll with chicken and broccoli.
Ingredients
Directions
- Pre-cook chicken in oven at 350 °F (175 °C) for 20 minutes. Dice chicken into cubes, should be 2-3 cups.
- Adjust oven to 375 °F (190 °C). In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, mayonnaise, dill weed and salt.
- Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough.
- Using a knife or scissors, cut 1" wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3" wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side.
- Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Spread cheese over the top of mixture (sharp cheddar cheese is also good).
- Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.
- Brush braided dough with the egg white, and press almond slivers gently into top of dough. Bake in the pre-heated oven 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.

It sounds really good...but I am trying to not use any breads for at least my first 2 weeks. I'm a carb-aholic! I might try the recipe as a stuffed chicken breast.

This is one of my FAVORITE recipes. I have been making this for years!!! I don't put the peppers or the almonds in it, and I add an egg to help it stay together a bit. VERY GOOD though.
