Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup broccoli florets, blanched and chopped

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tubes of refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get your baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper.

    Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, chopped broccoli, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

      Roll Out Dough: Take one tube of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto your prepared baking sheet. Gently press the seams together to form a cohesive sheet of dough, ensuring there are no gaps.

        Create a Braid: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, carefully cut strips along the sides of the dough, making cuts about 1.5 inches apart. Be sure to leave the center of the dough uncut; this will be where your filling lies.

          Add Filling: Spoon the creamy chicken and Alfredo mixture generously down the center of the uncut dough. Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking.

            Braid it Up: Starting from one end, take the triangle pieces of dough and fold them over the filling, alternating sides as you go to create a beautiful braid effect. Pinch the ends of the dough to seal the filling inside.

              Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top surface of the braid with the beaten egg. This will give it a lovely golden color as it bakes.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the braid is puffed up and has a beautiful golden brown color.

                  Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the braid from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish. Slice into pieces and serve warm, enjoying this delightful and creamy twist on classic Chicken Alfredo!

                      - Presentation Tips: For an attractive presentation, arrange sliced pieces on a serving platter, drizzling a bit of extra Alfredo sauce over the top for added creaminess, and garnish with more parsley for a pop of color.
