Time 48m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups diced, cooked chicken meat
1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove crushed garlic
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
¼ cup diced onion
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).
  • In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt, almonds and onion.
  • Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.
  • Brush braided dough with the egg white. Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.

Here's what you need: chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, green onion, Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup, crescent rolls, large egg, fresh rosemary

Provided by Campbell's

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups chicken, cooked, diced into 1/2 in (1.2 cm) cubes
2 cups broccoli, chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, diced into 1/2 in (1.2 cm) pieces
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, freshly
½ cup green onion, chopped
1 can Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup
2 cans crescent rolls
1 large egg
½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli, bell peppers, cheddar cheese, green onions, and Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup. Mix well.
  • Place a baking sheet-size sheet of parchment paper on a large cutting board. Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange next to one another so the long sides are touching. Press the seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
  • Spoon the chicken cheese filling in a horizontal mound across the center of the crescent roll dough, leaving 4-5 inches of space above and below the filling.
  • Starting from the bottom left of the dough sheet, slice a strip of dough diagonally at a 45-degree angle from the filling to the edge. Repeat every 2 inches along the bottom. Repeat with the top dough, cutting in the opposite direction from the bottom.
  • Starting from the left side, fold the first dough strip on the bottom over the filling, then fold over the first dough strip on the top, crossing over the bottom strip. Repeat with the remaining strips to create a braid effect. Pinch the dough together on the left and right sides to seal in the filling.
  • Use the parchment to carefully transfer the braid onto a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and rosemary. Brush the egg wash evenly over the braid.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the braid is cooked through and deep golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife and serving.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI BRAID

I got this out of a magazine several years ago. It is delicious when it's hot, or cold the next day (if there is any left). It slices nicely and you can microwave a cold slice a little and it will perk right up.
