Chicken Broccoli Braid

Written By Ashley Turner


Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbs Dill
2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 pkgs. (8oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
 
Combine Chicken, Broccoli, red bell Peppers, pressed garlic, cheese, mayonnaise, dill, onion powder, pepper and salt in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.  

Unroll packages of crescent dough but do not separate. Arrange dough long ways on a cookie sheet. Press the dough to  seal perforations. Cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep using a pizza cutter (there will be 6 inches in the center for the filling). 

Spread filling evenly over middle of dough. To braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends under to seal at end of the braid. Brush egg white over dough using pastry brush. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.


Enjoy!
