Ingredients
- 8 ounces crescent dough sheet or seamless crescent roll dough
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or finely chopped
- 4-6 slices deli ham
- 4-6 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough on the baking sheet and gently press the seams together into one solid rectangle.
- With a knife, cut diagonal strips down both long sides of the dough, leaving a center strip uncut for the filling.
- Spread the chicken evenly down the center, leaving a little space at the ends.
- Layer the ham over the chicken, then the Swiss cheese, keeping everything centered.
- Fold the top and bottom ends over the filling, then cross the side strips over it, alternating left and right, to make a braid.
- Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let the braid rest about 5 minutes so the filling sets, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
