Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup condensed cream of chicken soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into two long rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the perforations to seal.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the chicken mixture down the center of each dough rectangle.
- Make cuts approximately 1 inch apart on each side of the filling. Alternately cross strips over the filling to form a braid.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Notes
- Substitutions: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent rolls and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free. Vegetarians can substitute the chicken with a plant-based alternative and use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken soup.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the braid ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. For best results, bake within 24 hours.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
- Freezing: While best enjoyed fresh, the baked braid can be frozen. Cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
