Delicious Chicken Teriyaki Crescent Braids

These crescent braids are filled with a flavorful mixture of chicken, teriyaki sauce, and vegetables, baked until golden brown. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers and broccoli)
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, teriyaki sauce, and mixed vegetables until well combined.
Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the triangles in a way that they form a rectangle, overlapping the edges slightly.
Add the Filling: Spoon the chicken mixture down the center of the dough rectangle. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Braid the Dough: Starting from the edges, fold the dough over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid. Pinch the ends to seal.
Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken Teriyaki Crescent Braids!
