Chicken and Broccoli Crescent Braid

Chicken and Broccoli Crescent Braid

Ingredients

  • 1 roll of crescent roll dough
  • 2 chicken breasts rotisserie chicken, or left over chicken, cooked and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 bag of frozen steamable broccoli or one pound of fresh broccoli, steamed
  • 8 oz. sharp cheddar shredded
  • 4 oz. ricotta or cream cheese softened*
  • salt garlic powder, and pepper to taste
  • *I used ricotta because I had it left over. Softened cream cheese would probably taste even better!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Begin by unrolling your dough onto a cookie sheet. Smooth together the seams so that it becomes one cohesive sheet. You can smooth out the creases by dipping your finger in water and then pressing gently along the seam.
  3. Mix together precooked chicken, steamed broccoli, and either your ricotta or cream cheese. Stir well to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Lay your chicken mixture straight down the middle of your dough, leaving equal room on both sides. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mixture.
  5.  Using either a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice 1 inch slits into both sides of your dough. Wrap your dough by alternating sides, pulling a piece up, and then overlapping it over the other. Spray with cooking spray and then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it so that the cheese has time to set back up.
  7. Enjoy!
