Broccoli Chicken Braid

Hello my faithful readers!!

Sorry I have been MIA for a bit! Scott and I drove down to San Diego for the fourth of july (if you want to read about it you can here) and then I went to a family reunion up in Bear Lake while Scott came back to Arizona and worked hard. 

I loved spending time with my family, especially the ones I don't get to see very often), but I am happy to be back home with my hubby and to be cooking again!

Here is what you will need:

2 cups of chopped and cooked chicken, 2 cups of cooked and chopped broccoli, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, 2 cans of crescent rolls, 1/2 cup of mayo, and one egg yolk.

And note the beautiful flowers that were waiting for me after our week apart.

He is the best.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Cook and cut your chicken up and place it in a bowl.

Then add broccoli, mayo and cheese.

and mix it together

Then take the crescent rolls and spread both cans length ways to form a long rectangle. Pinch the middle together so it forms a single layer of dough. 

Scoop the chicken mixture over the center of the dough to form somewhat of a log shape. 

Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut one inch strips of the dough on each side. 

Then fold the strips over the top of the chicken mixture, alternating left to right, creating a braid. 

Make sure to press the strips together to seal it up as you go. 

Continue until all the chicken is covered.

Then take the yolk from your egg, and brush it over the braid.

Then pop it in the oven for 20 minutes.

It is done when it is nice and browned on top.

Cut it up and dig in!

Enjoy!
