Beautiful braided breads really dress up events. It's full of chicken and veggies, and it's surrounded by a buttery crust. I love to make this simple, tasty dish for my family.Dana Rabe, West Richland, Washington Ingredients:
2 cups cubed cooked chicken |
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
2 teaspoons dill weed |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls |
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Stir in mayonnaise. Unroll both tubes of crescent dough onto an ungreased baking sheet; press together, forming a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Seal seams and perforations. Spoon filling lengthwise down the center third of dough.
2. On each long side, cut dough 3 in. toward the center at 1-1/2-in. intervals, forming strips. Bring one strip from each side over filling; pinch ends to seal. Repeat. Pinch ends of loaf to seal.
3. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is heated through. Yield: 8 servings.
