Recipe of the Day: Pampered Chef Chicken & Broccoli Braid

I (Dawn) must share this recipe... it is one I have made several times, and despite how easy it is to make it, ALWAYS WOWS those I serve it to - both on appearance and taste!  *Note, the recipe includes specific Pampered Chef tools to use while preparing it, but I have successfully substituted my own knives, bowls, etc... since it is their recipe I thought it only fair to keep the recipe as I found it ;)

Pampered Chef Chicken & Broccoli Braid

• 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
• 1 cup broccoli, chopped
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, pressed
• 4 oz. (1cup) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. all-purpose dill mix
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 pkgs. (8oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 2 tbls. slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 375F. Chop chicken and broccoli using food chopper; place in 2 qt. batter bowl. Chop bell pepper using 5" utility knife; add to batter bowl. Press garlic over vegetable mixture using garlic press. Shred cheese using cheese grater and add to vegetable mixture; mix gently. Add mayonnaise, dill mix, and salt; mix well using scraper. Unroll 1 package of crescent dough; do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of 12" x 15" rectangle baking stone. Repeat with remaining package of dough. Using roller, roll dough to seal perforations. On longest sides of baking stone, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep using a pizza cutter (there will be 6 inches in the center for the filling). Spread filling evenly over middle of dough. To braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip on turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends under to seal at end of braid. Brush egg white over dough using pastry brush. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.
Substitute 1 tsp. dried dill weed for The Pampered Chef Pantry All-Purpose Dill Mix, if desired.
