Easy Braided Chicken Bread

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:

Steps to make Easy Braided Chicken Bread

1	Make dough	60
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon each of salt and sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk powder, 1 tablespoon yeast, ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, 4 tablespoons of oi, and 1 egg. Knead to a medium soft dough with slightly warm water and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
2	Cook onion and spices	5
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and sauté onion until soft. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and garam masala.
3	Add milk, chicken, chilies and coriander	5
Add the milk and cook while stirring until thick. Add shredded chicken, 4 chopped chilis, and 2 tablespoons of coriander or parsley leaves. Remove the skillet from the heat and leave to cool completely.
4	Heat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 390 °F.
5	Divide dough	1
Divide the dough into two or three equal sized balls depending on how big you want the loaves.
6	Roll dough	5
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a rectangular shape. Using a scissors or knife, snip the sides.
7	Fill dough	5
Place some chicken filling in the center of the dough and fold each side so they overlap each other (like a braid). It’s ok if the filling shows through slightly.
8	Brush with egg	2
Brush the top of the loaf with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
9	Bake	25
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden.
10	Butter while hot	3
Immediately after removing from the oven, apply butter over the whole loaf and leave to rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 minutes to soften the bread completely.
11	Serve
Serve warm.
