Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Braid Recipe

This cheesy chicken broccoli braid has been a hit in my house for years. My daughter and I love it and could live off of it - which - honestly? Is why I only make it once a year, if that.

But I'm thinking that December is going to be the month of this beauty, and so I want to make sure you're as prepared as I am to whip one up as quickly as possible.

There is a visual step-by-step of the recipe below. Now, I don't quite have recipe cards on my site - but I'm going to try to create one for you somehow and promise to update when I do.

You'll also find a few affiliate links for any pantry products available and some of my favorite kitchen products. Happy shopping!

p.s. many people do an egg wash on this kind of recipe - but I'll admit it - I'm just too lazy to egg wash anything. So, if you prefer it and it works for you? Go for it. But if you don't? Don't stress about it. Because I won't tell if you won't. 

Have you ever tried a recipe like this before? Have any favorite crescent braid fillings? Let me know in the comments - I'd love to try something new.

  1. This probably wouldn't come out looking very pretty if I made it, but it sounds like something the guys in my house would love!
