CHICKEN & BROCCOLI BRAID image

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (250 mL) chopped broccoli florets
2 cups (500 mL) chopped cooked chicken breasts (see Cook's Tip)
1/2 cup (125 mL) diced red bell pepper
1 cup (250 mL) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise
2 tsp (10 mL) All-Purpose Dill Mix
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
2 pkg (8 oz or 235 g each) refrigerated crescent dough
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 tbsp (30 mL) slivered almonds

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Chop chicken and broccoli using Food Chopper; place in Classic Batter Bowl. Chop bell pepper using Utility Knife; add to Batter Bowl. Press garlic over vegetable mixture using Garlic Press. 2. Shred cheese using Rotary Grater and add to vegetable mixture; mix gently. Add mayonnaise, Dill Mix and salt; mix well using Mix 'N Scraper®. 3. Unroll 1 package of crescent dough; do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of Rectangle Stone. Repeat with remaining package of dough. Using Baker's Roller®, roll dough to seal perforations. On longest sides of Baking Stone, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches deep using Pairing Knife. (There will be 6 inches in the center for the filling.) 4. Spread filling evenly over middle of dough. To braid, lift two opposite strips of dough up, twist once, then lay over filling so that ends meet at the center. Lightly pinch ends together. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends up to seal at end of braid. 5. Brush egg white over dough using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cut and serve using Slice 'N Serve®. Cook's Tips: Substitute 1 teaspoon dried dill weed for All-Purpose Dill Mix, if desired. Cook and chop 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves to get 2 cups of chopped cooked chicken. It's best to keep crescent roll dough refrigerated until ready to use. Once the dough is warm, it becomes soft and sometimes sticky, making it difficult to work with.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I loved this recipe! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own chicken broccoli braid. I added some extra spices to the chicken and used a different type of cheese in the sauce. It turned out great!

I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great! I used grilled chicken instead of cooked chicken and added some extra vegetables to the braid. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the broccoli was still slightly crunchy. The sauce was flavorful and creamy. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone.

This chicken broccoli braid is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken from a previous meal and used it in this recipe. It turned out great!
