Chicken Broccoli Braid

 

This is one fantastic easy meal that is delicious and perfect paired with our Autumn Salad.

I use rotisserie chicken from Costco and organic frozen broccoli. I like the change up the cheese from time to time, but my favorite is always one with a bit of spice. Delicious the next day. Instead of Original Crescent Rolls I use the Crescent “sheets”. You can find them at Target. Saves the pinching together of the seams. You can really add any veggie to this. I had some red peppers from the garden so I added them for color. Here I am cooking with my dear friend Kathleen Molway in NH. I adore her. She asked for personal cooking classes. She and her darling husband Bob drove us all over Maine. We had such a wonderful time!!

Ingredients

  • 2 cans Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls
  • 2 cups chicken chunks, cooked
  • 2 cups pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups broccoli, frozen thawed
  • one small can green chilies
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • ½ cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 egg yolk
  • fresh rosemary

Instructions

  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, chilies, chopped onion and mayonnaise.

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

  6. Add Broccoli down the center. It looks like we were cooking for an army! She was so happy to freeze one!

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

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

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

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

Slow and Simple Barbecue Chicken

If you have followed my cooking blog for long you know how I am all for making great food that doesn’t wear you out.

Crockpot BBQ Chicken..you can throw the chicken breasts in frozen.

EASY and IN ADVANCE. For me, the idea of having dinner ready for my family or for company ahead of time is a huge key for me doing it.

I was looking though my recipes the other day (it was a fun journey down memory lane) and was reminded how many really simple recipes I have from when I had four small children. Mercy…I now have four grandchildren!

I needed uncomplicated recipes that I could start in the morning because I was exhausted by 5 to even think of really cooking.

This is one of my go to recipe for years. It is so good and families love it.

You don’t have to use chicken breast if you want to make it a bit cheaper with thighs. Either way make sure you cook it on low…the chicken is so good and tender. Really good the next day!

Also please join me on my new facebook Start Simply but Simply Start Cooking page. Lots of fun ideas that make loving with your life a bit easier. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Start-Simply-but-Simply-Start/335012629934053?fref=ts

1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. mesquite seasoning
