A friend from work a while ago introduced me to this recipe and I have to say that I am SOOO glad she did because it is AMAZING!! The fun thing about it is that you can really alter it however you want, whether you want it with ground beef, or you want to add more veggies.. it's really up to you and it will be delicious regardless!!
Chicken and Broccoli Braid
Recipe from Allrecipes.com
2 cups diced, cooked chicken
1 cup fresh chopped broccoli
½ cup red chopped peppers
1 clove crushed garlic (I just used garlic powder)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use more because my hubs is a cheese lover)
½ cup mayonnaise or miracle whip
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup diced onion
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, beaten
Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, toss chicken, broccoli, peppers, garlic, cheese, mayo, salt, and onion. Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, (or I used a pizza cutter!) cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal. Brush braided dough with the egg white. Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.
On a side note: the first time I made this I was sooo confused with the braiding, I had to call my sister and have her explain it to me! haha. So for those people out there here is a picture so you can see how to do the cutting/braiding. I stole it from someone else. So thank you whoever you are;)
