Pampered Chef Chicken Broccoli Braid

 INGREDIENTS

• 2 Cups Cooked Chicken - Shredded or Cubed
• 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
• 1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese
• 1 Garlic Clove - Minced or Pressed
• 1 Tbs. Pampered Chef Dill Seasoning Mix
• 1 Cup of Broccoli - Chopped
• ½ Cup of Red, Green or Yellow Pepper - Finley Chopped (Optional) I omit this! We don’t like peppers so I use Pepper Jack cheese to get that flavor.
• ¼ Cup of Onion - Minced (I don’t like onion so I use 2 Tbs. of fresh chives or dried minced onions)
• Black Pepper to taste
• ½ Cup of Hellman’s Mayo - I use just enough to combine all the ingredients together.
• 2 Packages of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• 1 Egg - Beaten to brush on top.

Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, bell pepper, garlic, cheese, mayonnaise, dill mix, pepper, and onion until well incorporated. (I use more than 2 cups of cheese because we like it really cheesy)!!

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 6 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. Bake on 350 degrees for 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.

I did mine a little different this time instead of the traditional braid. I make this into a ring instead of a braid sometimes and that is pretty also. We like to eat this with Macaroni and Cheese.
