Chicken and Broccoli Braid

 "Beautiful braided crescent roll with chicken and broccoli."

 Ingredients 
Original recipe makes 6 servings 

•  2 cups diced, cooked chicken meat 
•  1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped 
•  1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
•  1 clove crushed garlic
•  1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
•  1/2 cup mayonnaise 
•  2 teaspoons dried dill weed 
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  2 tablespoons slivered almonds
•  1/4 cup diced onion 
•  2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls 
•  1 egg white, beaten

 Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F). 
2. In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt, almonds and onion.
3. Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.
