Chicken Broccoli Braid

This cheesy Chicken Broccoli Braid is an impressive and easy-to-assemble recipe. Packed with vegetables, chicken, and cheese, it’s great for brunch or lunch. Some days I add a big bright salad and call it dinner. The recipe yields 10 servings and is perfect for feeding a crowd or just a hungry family.

For this recipe, I call for crescent dough sheets. If using crescent rolls, make sure to press perforations to seal. I find it is best to keep the dough refrigerated until you are ready to use it. Once the dough is at room temperature, it becomes soft and sticky, making it hard to work with. If you don’t have any chicken already cooked, pan-sear or bake 2 chicken breasts with just salt and black pepper and let cool completely before adding to the filling.

To make the Chicken Broccoli Braid, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Chicken Broccoli Braid

1	Heat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
2	Mix ingredients	2
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup chopped broccoli florets, 2 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken, ½ cup diced red bell pepper, 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons dill mix, 1 pressed garlic clove, and ¼ teaspoon salt and mix well.
3	Unroll dough	2
Place a baking sheet-sized piece of parchment paper on a large cutting board. Unroll two sheets of the crescent dough onto the paper and arrange them next to one another - so that the long sides are touching. Gently press the seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
4	Cut dough strips	2
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut 1 ½-inch strips on long sides of the dough. Leave about 6 inches of the dough uncut in the center. Transfer to a cookie sheet.
5	Fill pastry and form braid	4
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the center of the uncut dough. To braid, lift two opposite strips of the dough up, twist each strip once, then bring them together over the chicken filling so that the ends meet at the center. Pinch the ends together to seal. Continue to form a braid. Tuck and pinch the short ends up to seal at the end of the braid.
6	Brush with egg white	1
Brush the dough with lightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of slivered almonds.
7	Bake	25
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes until deep golden brown.
8	Serve
Cut into slices and serve.
