Chicken and Broccoli Braid
"I got this out of a magazine several years ago. It is delicious when it's hot, or cold the next day (if there is any left). It slices nicely and you can microwave a cold slice a little and it will perk right up."

This was SO delicious. I ended up using Colby-Jack cheese, and it turned out phenomenal. Very rarely do I find a recipe that's so easy, yet so yummy. It made plenty for my family of 5, and I still had enough for another meal to freeze. Served with plain white rice on the side. Perfect. -
Mimi, You certainly have a winner with this easy and very delicious braid.I did exactly as you shared your recipe.came out of the oven , looking so yummy! Would be so good at a ladie's luncheon.I will pass on this recipe to my friends.Thank-you for posting it. Rose -
This was a great recipe. I made a few changes (for good reasons) I substituted mayo for cream of mushroom (husband not able to eat mayo). I also only had 1 pkg of crecents... so i just put them on top of the mixture and baked them in the oven like that. it wasn't a braid. :-) But it was still really good. We'll definately be making this again.

I did tweak it somewhat. I've making this for years. I added approximately 2 teaspoons of dried dill weed, approximately 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and silvered almonds on top along with the egg wash.
