To prevent the braid from becoming soggy, make sure to fully cook the chicken and drain any excess liquid from the broccoli before adding it to the filling. Also, make sure to preheat your oven and bake the braid on a baking sheet to ensure crispy and flaky pastry. You can also brush the pastry with an egg wash before baking, which will create a protective barrier and prevent sogginess.
