CHICKEN & BROCCOLI BRAID


2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, pressed
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1cup)
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Pantry All Purpose Dill Mix
¼ teaspoon salt
2 packages (8oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons slivered almonds

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Chop chicken and broccoli using Food Chopper; place in Classic 2-Qt Batter Bowl. Chop bell pepper using 5” Utility Knife; add to Batter Bowl. Press garlic over vegetable mixture using Garlic Press.

2. Shred cheese using Deluxe Cheese Grater and add to vegetable mixture; mix gently. Add mayonnaise, Dill Mix and salt; mix well using Mix ‘N Scraper®.

3. Unroll 1 package of crescent dough; do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of 12”x15” Rectangle Baking Stone. Repeat with remaining package of dough. Using Dough and Pizza Roller, roll dough to seal perforations. On longest sides of Baking Stone, cut dough into strips 1 ½ inches apart, 3 inches deep using 3” Paring Knife. (There will be 6 inches in the center for the filling.)

4. Spread filling evenly over middle of dough. To braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends up to seal at end of braid.

5. Brush egg white over dough using Pastry Brush. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cut and serve using Slice ‘N Serve®.
