Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 piece Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough from both cans. Arrange the sheets side by side, slightly overlapping, and press the seams together to form one large rectangular sheet.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, make 1-inch cuts along the long sides of the dough, leaving the center third of the rectangle uncut to hold the filling.

Step 5

Spoon the chicken-bacon mixture down the center strip of the dough.

Step 6

Starting at one end, fold the strips of dough from each side over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid pattern.

Step 7

Brush the beaten egg over the top and sides of the braid for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the braid to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
