Beautiful braided breads really dress up events. It's full of chicken and veggies, and it's surrounded by a buttery crust. I love to make this simple, tasty dish for my family.—Dana Rabe, West Richland, Washington

Ingredients

2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
2 teaspoons dill weed

Very good recipe, taste yummy and looks absolutely amazing. I backed off on the dill and sprinkled basil over the top.

Reviewed on Jun. 27, 2011 by NicoleNicosia

I skipped the fancy braid and just put one cresent roll on the bottom and one on the top and it still worked out awesome! I felt like it could be a little cheesier but I love cheese! =) It was yummo and so easy!

My family & I love this! It is so easy to make and has a wonderful taste. I only changed one thing: I used 1 tsp of Dill Weed instead of two. This is a must try!!

Excellent dish and very pretty. It's a little heavy on the dill, though, so I cut it to half.
