To make the Chicken Broccoli Braid, you will need 2 cups of cooked and diced chicken, 1 cup of cooked and chopped broccoli, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls. Preheat your oven to 375°F and mix the chicken, broccoli, cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Roll out the crescent rolls onto a baking sheet and place the chicken mixture in the center, then braid the dough over the filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Yes, you can use any type of cheese that you prefer. However, cheddar cheese tends to melt and hold its shape well, making it a popular choice for this recipe.
Absolutely! You can add other ingredients such as diced onions, bell peppers, or even different types of meat like bacon or ham. Just make sure to cook any raw ingredients before adding them to the filling.
To store leftovers, let the braid cool completely and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
Yes, you can assemble the braid ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. However, the dough may become a bit soggy if left in the fridge for too long. It is best to bake the braid within 24 hours of assembling it.
