When was the last time that you made a Chicken Broccoli Braid? Making a Chicken and Broccoli Crescent Braid is a good recipe to try to get your kids in the kitchen with! Start the recipe with cooked chicken, and your child can help mix ingredients, fill the crescent dough, and help fold and braid! A Chicken and Broccoli Crescent Braid is also a good vehicle to introduce new vegetables like bell pepper. You can also customize which vegetables you want to add to this recipe. You can swap the broccoli for cauliflower, or you can swap the bell pepper for zucchini, or another veggie of your choice!

The key to this recipe is not to over-fill the dough. If it is overfilled, it will be harder to braid. That is why chopping the vegetables here helps them fit inside the braid more easily!

If you prefer your food to be on the spicy side, you can also add hot peppers into the braid, or simply top with hot sauce! And, if you follow a vegetarian diet you can omit the chicken and use tempeh or seitan.
