Chicken and Broccoli Braid

Let me start out by saying.. This recipe is really simple to make. The only down fall is if you don't have a chopper thing or even a food processer, you have to use a knife to cut up everything. I, myself did not follow the recipe exactly, neiter does my mother-in-law it's completely up to you. Also, I stink at remembering to take pictures of things. Just type in pampered chef chicken and broccoli braid to see a picture.

Ingredients and Directions:

1	cup (250 mL) chopped broccoli florets
2	cups (500 mL) chopped cooked chicken breasts (boil the chicken)
1/2	cup (125 mL) diced red bell pepper
1	cup (250 mL) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2	cup (125 mL) mayonnaise
1	garlic clove, pressed
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) refrigerated crescent dough
1	egg white, lightly beaten
2	tbsp (30 mL) slivered almonds From Pampered Chef * I didn't use the bell pepper, garlic, or almonds.  Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Combine broccoli, chicken, bell pepper, cheese, mayonnaise, dill mix, pressed garlic and salt in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well. Unroll one package of the 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 in. (4 cm) apart, 3 in. (7.5 cm) deep. (There will be 6 in./15 cm in the center for the filling.) Spread filling evenly over center of dough. To braid, lift dough strips across filling to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends up to seal at end of braid. Brush egg white over dough. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown We bake at 325 for about 35-40 minutes! Yield: 10 servings  Feel free to check out the oringal post on the pampered chef page, my mother in law uses the recipe book or we both go by memory. Email me in you have any questions!
