Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Braid
Maybe you've tried this before, maybe it's one of your favorites or maybe not, but it is one of my favorites because not only does it taste so good but it is one the best recipes to sneak a few veggies in on my sometimes picky kids. I wish I could take credit for the creation of this recipe, but I can't. First time I learned of this recipe was from a friend's Pampered Chef cooking show long ago. Maybe that's where you've seen it too. If not, I hope you'll try this one. I know you'll love it!
Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Braid
3 boneless chicken breasts cooked (bake @ 400 degrees for 40 minutes or cook in the slow cooker on very low for 4-5 hours)
1 large broccoli crown, florets chopped up finely
1/2 red or green pepper, chopped up finely
1/3 medium onion, chopped up finely
1/2 cup of button mushrooms, chopped up finely
3/4 cup light mayonnaise, if you can get non-fat, that's okay too.
1 1/2 cups of shredded medium cheddar cheese
2 containers of Pillsbury croissant rolls (I used the seamless croissants)
1 egg white
- first, bake your chicken in the oven before. If it's more convenient to put chicken in the slow cooker, then go right ahead. Make sure you add enough water so the chicken doesn't dry out and put the cooker on low.
- Prepare the croissant rolls on a large baking sheet. Roll out both containers side by side and press together the seam. Slice with a knife strips that are about 1 1/2 inches apart and about 3 inches long. (notice picture)
- Chop chicken and veggies with a food processor or food chopper, and stir in mayonnaise and cheddar cheese. Blend well.
- With a scrapper, turn out the mixture down the center of the baking sheet into what looks similar to a loaf.
- Fold the end up and start to crisscross the dough, layering one over the other.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Once the braid is complete, brush with an egg white over the entire braid.
- Place in oven for about 20 minutes. Note: be sure to bake throughly, some thicker parts may need a little longer time in the oven, otherwise it could be a little doughy if you take it out of the oven too soon.
- After baking is done, let it rest and cool for about 15-20 minutes. The inside is extremely hot and could burn mouths if served right away. Slide the loaf onto a serving dish, if you like. It takes 3 spatulas and one extra hand to do this. Garish it with a little green or lemon for presentation.
try finely diced or shredded carrots or zucchini for alternative veggies. Please let me know how you and your family likes this recipe. Leave a comment too!

Let's Talk 72 Hour Kits
Happy New Year to you all!
As we kick off the new year, we are going to be focusing much on preparedness. Set a goal for yourself this month to get your 72 hour kit up to date. Ask members in your family to help and get involved. This would be a great Family Home Evening task to do. If you haven't started on a kit, now is the time to get going on it. It does take a little planning, but you can do it! I have listed below a basic list of what to put into your kit. Keep in mind that you will need to account for everyone in your family. Include medications you may need, a sewing kit, stress reliever games or activities, pictures and copies of important documents. If you would like a more detailed list, I can email it to you. There is also a printed copy on the RS Board in the hallway at our ward building. Please contact me (Julie Tyler) for help if you have questions or need help.
ULTIMATE 72-HOUR KIT
If sealed, the contents of this 72-hour kit will last for two years. Below is a listed of suggested items. You can replace food items that your family will realistically eat.
3 packs of instant oatmeal
3 packets of hot chocolate
2 granola bars
3 beef jerky sticks
3 apple cider packets
3 packs of Ramen
2 small cans of fruit (lunch size fruit cocktail things)
9 pieces of small hard candy (a pack of life savers would work)
1 small pack of gum
2 fruit snacks (this can be fruit roll-ups, small boxes of raisins, those fruit chew snacks...)
1 plastic spoon
Need 1 gallon of water for cooking these items (+ additional water for drinking 2-2 1/2 quarts per person per day, which is approx. 2 liters)
