Chicken & Broccoli Braid

This Chicken & Broccoli Braid is an older recipe from Pampered Chef. We loved it so much that we switched a few things around to make it one of our family's favorite meals!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 containers crescent rolls
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • If you're cooking the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper and cook for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Dice the chicken and add it to a large bowl. Add the broccoli, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, and some salt & pepper. Mix well.
  • Tear a large piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper. If using foil, spray it with non-stick spray. Roll out each of the crescent rolls on top of the foil/parchment and lay them next to each other with the longer sides touching. Pinch together all the seams to make a larger rectangle. See picture.

  • Spoon the chicken and broccoli mixture down the center of the dough. Use all of the mixture (it will seem like a lot).
  • Using a butter knife, cut lines from center out to ends of each side of the braid (see picture). Carefully "braid" the dough over the chicken/broccoli mixture, alternating sides as you go.
  • Pick up the braid along with the foil/parchment and place it on a baking sheet. Brush the top of the braid with melted butter.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until top of braid is browned.
