Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Braid

Broccoli cheddar chicken braid for dinner... sooo good! This is a family favorite!

You will need:
2 cans Crescent Rolls (I used the reduced fat ones)
2 cups cooked chicken chunks
2 cups Cheddar Cheese (I used sharp)
2 cups steamed chopped broccoli
1/2 cup light Mayo
1 egg yolk
Rosemary (I used what I had in my seasoning cupboard or you could buy some fresh rosemary too)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2. Spray some non stick spray onto a cookie sheet, and 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, broccoli and mayo.
5. Spread mixture over the center of the croissant dough evenly to create a log.
6. Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal strips 1 inch apart down each side of the crescent dough.
7. Fold the dough strips over the top of the mixture, alternating left and right to create a braid.
8. Brush the top of the braid with a beaten egg yolk and sprinkle rosemary on top.
9. Bake for 28-30 until golden brown. (I cooked mine for 40 minutes to get the dough a bit crispier, that's just how we like it)

It's really easy! And yummy!

Spinach Artichoke Bubble Bake

After my work day, I wanted to make something for dinner that was quick to put together so I could simply relax. 

So I skipped quite a few steps by simply using a tub of spinach artichoke dip from Costco, mixed in a cup of mozzarella cheese and a can of chicken (drained), two tubes of biscuits, cut each biscuit into 4ths and mixed in with the mixture, top with another cup of Mozzarella and then baked at 350 degrees in a 9x13 dish for 50 minutes, covering at 30 minutes for the last 20. 

It was SO good! Everyone approved and there’s none left, so I’d call that a success!
