Pampered Chef Chicken Broccoli Braid
12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (2 cups - about
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves)
1 C. broccoli, chopped
1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, pressed
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/2 C. mayonnaise
2 tsp. All-purpose Dill Mix (or 1 teaspoon dillweed)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 T. slivered almonds
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Chop chicken and broccoli and place in bowl. Add
chopped red bell pepper. Press garlic over mixture
and shred cheese over mixture. Add mayonnaise, dill
mix and salt. Mix well.
Unroll package of crescent rolls. Do not separate.
Arrange longest sides of dough across width of
12 x 15-inch pan and repeat with remaining package
of dough. Roll out dough to seal perforations.
On long side of pan, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches
apart, 3 inches deep leaving approximately 6 inches in
the center of dough for filling. Spread filling evenly
over middle of dough.
To braid: Lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in
center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating
strips to form braid. Tuck ends under to seal at ends. Brush
egg white over dough and sprinkle with almonds.
Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.
