Chicken Braid Recipe

Ok here is the famous chicken braid recipe I have used alot at my party's.. It's seems to be a real crowd pleaser and I think helps sell the products.. It showcases many of our Thrive products.  I am stealing the picture my good friend and mentor took of the dish.. She actually started using this recipe first and I have followed in her footsteps..  Thank you Renee Dudley..

Chicken and Broccoli Braid

2 Cups Freeze Dried Chicken
1 Cup Freeze Dried Broccoli or 1/2 cup of broccoli and 1/2 cup spinach
1/2 cup freeze dried mixed  bell peppers
I also use a handful of the freeze dried onions
1 cup freeze dried cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayo
2 tsp dill
1/4 tsp salt
I also put in some minced garlic
2 packages of pillsbury cresent rolls (8oz each)
1 egg white lightly beaten
2 T slivered almonds ( I dont measure I just toss ontop of braid

Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat water for chicken and veggies to rehydrate. I put the cheese in a small bowl and rehydrate with cool water.  After 10 mins I strain all these and put into big bowl and add the rest of the ingredients and stir together.
Unroll the package of cresent rolls, dont seperate. Arrange dough across a 12x13 rectangle baking sheet. Seal perforations in dough with finger or pizza roller if you have one.. On longest sides of baking sheet cut dough into strips, leaving the center un cut.  Spread filling evenly over the middle of the dough.  to braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in the center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends under to seal at the end of braid. Brusk egg white over dough. Sprinkle with Almonds. Bake 25-28 mins or until deep golden brown. Cut and serve.
Yields 10 servings

I usually cut the braid in half lengthwise and then slice across in widths for my partys to get several small pieces to sample..    Enjoy
