Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
• 1 cup Fresh broccoli (chopped into small florets)
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 cans Crescent roll dough
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and lay the two sheets side by side on the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping the long edges to form a single large rectangle. Press the seams together to seal.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut 1-inch wide strips along the long edges of the dough, leaving an uncut 4-inch section down the center for the filling.

Step 5

Spoon the chicken and broccoli mixture down the center of the dough, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Fold each strip of dough over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided effect. Pinch the ends to seal the braid.

Step 7

Brush the beaten egg over the top and sides of the braid to give it a golden finish during baking. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
