Chicken Crescent Vegetable Braid Recipes

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI BRAID

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).
• In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt, almonds and onion.
• 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 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.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the frozen veggies, cheddar cheese, and chicken. In a separate bowl mix together the cream cheese and the condensed soup. Add it to the chicken-veggie mixture.
• Spread the crescent roll dough out on a silicon mat or parchment paper and place that on a baking pan. Leaving three inches in the middle, make cuts down the side of the dough an inch apart on both sides.
• Spread the chicken-veggie-soup mixture down the middle of the dough. Take a strip of dough from one side and fold it over the middle mixture. Then take a strip from the other side and fold it over the middle. Continue down the dough, alternating sides until it is completely folded over.
• Pinch the ends of the dough to keep the filling inside while it bakes.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes so that the top is nice and golden brown.
• Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting in to it.
