How To Make Chicken and Broccoli Braid Recipe
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool, then shred the chicken into small pieces.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, broccoli florets, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
-
Spoon the chicken and broccoli mixture onto the center of the puff pastry sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space on each side.
-
Cut diagonal strips on both sides of the puff pastry sheet, about 1 inch apart.
-
Starting from one end, fold the strips of pastry over the chicken and broccoli mixture, alternating sides, creating a braid pattern.
-
Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg for a golden crust.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
-
Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting into slices and serving.
