I have a host who is requesting this... I looked in Joyce's and found a braid... am wondering if that would be the same filling ... also looked in our files here but didn't find anything. Anyone have this recipe?
 
Here's what I have for the ring...

Chicken & Broccoli Ring

2 cups coarsely chopped cooked chicken
1 ½ cups coarsely chopped broccoli
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 egg white, lightly beaten
¼ cup slivered almonds


Preheat oven to 375. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, cheese, bell pepper, mayonnaise, seasoning mix, salt and garlic; mix well.

Unroll 2 (8 ounce) packages of refrigerated crescent rolls; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles, slightly overlapping in a circle on Large Round Stone with wide ends 4 inches from edge of baking stone. Points will extend off the edge of the baking stone. Roll wide ends of dough toward center to create a 5 inch opening.

Scoop filling over ring. Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck under dough at center to form a ring. Filling will show. Brush with egg white. Sprinkle with almonds.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Nope. It cooks but stays crisp-tender during the baking time. Not mushy!
Love this recipe. :)

Okay so... would you use the food chopper on the broccoli or the chefs knife or what tool? Dicing the pepper and chicken can already use the knife but does the chopper kind of do in the broccoli? Can you tell I haven't made this one yet???
 
You can use the chopper. Lots of people like to do that so that the broccoli ends up a little smaller and cooks more thoroughly. I personally like broccoli with a little crunch to it, so I just hack it off the stem and cut the florets in half.
 
Another thoughtI did this recipe at a show Tues. night. Instead of the egg white, I used the Basil Blend Oil and brushed it on with the Silicone Basting Brush. It adds a little flavor and turned out really nice and golden brown. :)
