Chicken and Broccoli Braid

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins In a large bowl, gently combine the diced chicken, chopped broccoli, diced red bell pepper, crushed garlic, shredded Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dried dill weed, salt, toasted slivered almonds, and diced onion. Mix until just combined. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Unroll both packages of crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press the perforations together to form a single, large rectangle of dough. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make cuts 1-inch wide along both long sides of the dough, starting about 3 inches from the top and bottom edges and extending inwards towards the filling area. This will create the strips for braiding. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Spoon the chicken mixture evenly down the center of the dough rectangle. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Begin braiding by folding one strip of dough from one side over the filling, then a strip from the opposite side. Continue alternating sides, overlapping each strip slightly until you reach the end. Pinch the top and bottom strips to seal the braid. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Brush the entire surface of the braided dough with the beaten egg white. This will give it a beautiful golden sheen during baking. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 28 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until the braid is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. (28 minutes)
