Chicken & Broccoli Braid
List of Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped small
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced (I use about 4 of them)
- 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp. Pampered Chef Dill Mix (or dill weed)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 packages (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 2 T. slivered almonds
Instructions
- Open both cans of crescent rolls.
- You'll need a flat baking stoneware or cookie sheet.
- Unroll crescent dough rolls & separate them.
- Lay the wide ends of the triangles of dough overlapping so that they make a ring around on the baking sheet. The points will be facing the outside of the baking sheet. There should be a 5" diameter opening in the center of the stone. You may want to press or roll out the insides a bit, so that you'll have plenty of space to put the filling.
- Mix the chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, grated cheese, mayonnaise, dill mix, and salt. Mix all these together until well-blended.
- Scoop the chicken mixture evenly onto the widest end of each triangle, using all the chicken mixture.
- Bring the points of the triangles up over the filling and tuck under wider ends at the center of the ring. The filling will not be completely covered up.
- Brush on the egg white over the top with a pastry brush & sprinkle with slivered almonds if desired.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven until deep golden brown.
