Easy Braided Chicken Bread recipe

This Easy Braided Chicken Bread recipe is a fantastic sharing bread to make for a crowd. I like to double this recipe and freeze some before baking. I’ve taken this braided chicken bread on picnics and to potlucks and it always goes down a treat!

To make this chicken bread, start by making the chicken filling. Set aside to cool while you prepare the dough. Combine all of the dough ingredients and leave to rise for about an hour. When you are ready to assemble the loaves, divide the dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle and snip the sides. Place filling in the center of the dough and bring the side pieces together to look like a braid. Cook and serve warm.

To make Easy Braided Chicken Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
