• 0.5 cups red bell pepper , chopped
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons dried dill weed

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, toss together chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, garlic, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt, almonds and onion.

3. 3

   Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the chicken mixture along the center strip. Fold the side strips over chicken mixture, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.

4. 4

   Brush braided dough with the egg white. Bake in the preheated oven 25 to 28 minutes, or until golden brown.
