  1. I found a better description of how to braid this on allrecipes.com: 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.
     
  2. This pampered chef recipe is truly delicious...I actually changed it up a notch and put it onto a bobili pizza crust and it goes just as fast....awesome ingredients that blend well and bring out a marvelous taste you will crave....thanks for posting this one...now i will always have it handy....
     
  3. I use sour cream in place of the mayonnaise. I also use frozen baby broccoli florets. I usually skip the almonds and egg wash. Very tasty and easy.
     
  4. This recipe came from a Pampered Chef party years ago, and it is very delicious as well as appealing to the eye. It goes quick at social gatherings.
     
  5. This has been a family favorite for years. I have found it is best to use chopped frozen broccoli that I partially cook or even leftover broccoli works great. I also will substitute leftover ham for the chicken and add a tablespoon of deli or Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise. It is a definite must to bake this on a Pampered Chef stone it comes out nice and golden brown every time!

I made this account back in 2001, when the site was called "Recipezaar". A lot has changed in my life since then. My kids are all grown and I try to eat a low-carb lifestyle now. Some of my older recipes were handed down from my grandmother. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I have. Current recipes that I post will mostly be low carb or keto.
