Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup Alfredo sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish and flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

      Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten it into a rectangle, ensuring to pinch seams together to create one large sheet.

        Cut the Dough: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make cuts on the long sides of the rectangle, about 1 inch apart, leaving the center third of the rectangle uncut. This will be where you fill your braid.

          Fill the Braid: Spoon the chicken Alfredo filling down the center of the dough. Be careful not to overfill; you want to maintain enough space to fold the dough over.

            Braid the Dough: Starting from one end, take the first strip of dough and fold it over the filling. Alternate folding over the strips from each side, overlapping them across the filling, creating a braid pattern. Pinch the ends together to seal.

              Brush with Egg Wash: Place the braid on the lined baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden color while baking.

                Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the braid is golden brown and cooked through.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before slicing.

                    Enjoy: Cut into pieces and serve warm. Pair with a side salad for a complete meal!
