Chicken Broccoli Braid

INGREDIENTS
2 cups diced, cooked chicken meat
1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove crushed garlic
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/4 cup diced onion
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls or use the Crescent Roll Recipe Here
1 egg white, beaten



DIRECTIONS
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.

Comments:
Made this for dinner tonight and it was YUMMY!! I did not have red pepper or almonds so those were left out. Used 1tsp Celery Seed instead of Dill Weed. Also, I cooked the chicken in the garlic and onion then added the broccoli in at the end to soften it so it wouldn't be crunchy. I used the homemade Crescent Roll recipe found HERE instead of the packaged ones. They gave it a bit of a sweet flavor that was really good. Just note on the crescent roll recipe you will skip the last step for rising. You will only let it rise the 1st time, then seperate it and roll it out and then add the ingredients from this. This will definitely get used again!
