Half Moon Braid with Chicken Pie
1. Warm welcome to the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Stuffing Harmony: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Dough Canvas: Unroll the crescent dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, pressing the seams to create a large sheet.
4. Center stage: Spread the chicken mixture in the center of the dough.
5. Artful Braiding: Cut equal slits along both sides of the dough to the edge of the filling. Fold strips alternately over the filling, creating a braided effect.
6. Golden Touch: Brush the braided dough with the beaten egg to enhance the golden color.
7. Bake to perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the braid is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
8. Rest and enjoy: Let the braid cool for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to combine beautifully.
