I made the orginal version last year and it was ok. But tonight I made it with cresent rolls instead of the french bread and made a braid and everyone loved it! I added more chicken and doubled the ingredients and it was soo good. Less bread more filling! I also added a small amount of tomato and it was yumms! Just had to share how great this variation turned out! I am going to do this version at my next show too!
 
I'm a firm believer that anything that's a good sandwich is a good ring/braid. I still keep meaning to make one that's like taco ring, but with sloppy joe meat instead of taco.
