Recipe and image from Food Family Finds

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

DIRECTIONS:

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

2. On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, spread both cans of crescents length wise to form a long rectangle. 3. Press each of the seams to form a single layer of dough.

4. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, broccoli and mayonnaise

5. Spread mixture over the center of the croissant dough evenly to create a log.

6. Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal strips 1 inch apart down each side of the crescent dough.

7. Fold the dough strips over the top of the chicken mixture, alternating left and right to create a braid.

8. Brush the top of the braid with a beaten egg yolk and sprinkle fresh rosemary on top.

9. Bake for 28 – 30 minutes until golden brown.

*This was really yummy! What a great weeknight meal. It would be fun to try and make my own dough next time rather than use the Pillsbury dough.
