Broccoli Cheese Chicken Braid

It has been mentioned in the past that maybe I should blog about my cooking experiences.

I am fairly new to cooking, so right now this blog will contain mainly recipes that I have gotten from other sources that I have tried and liked.

I have tried other recipes prior to this and I will post those when I get a chance.

Tonight I am going to try and make this recipe.  It looks fairly easy and delicious


INGREDIENTS:

- 2 cans Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls
- 2 cups chicken chunks, cooked
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 2 cups broccoli, frozen, steamed and chopped
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 egg yolk
- fresh rosemary





INSTRUCTIONS:

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, spread both cans of of crescents lengthwise for form a long rectangle.
- Press each of the seams to form a single layer of dough
- in a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, broccoli and mayonnaise
- Spread mixture over the center of the croissant dough evenly to create a log
- Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal strips 1 inch apart down each side of the crescent dough.
- Fold the dough strips over the top of the chicken mixture, alternating left and right to create a braid.
- Brush the top of the braid with a beaten egg yolk and sprinkle fresh rosemary on top
- Bake for 28 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
