Chicken Fajita Braid

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 small onion, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon Kroger® Fajita Seasoning
• 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 package (8 oz.) crescent dough sheet
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• Sour cream, optional
• Salsa, optional
• Guacamole, optional

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Line baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook pepper and onions 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Add fajita seasoning, chicken and water. Continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes to blend flavors and reduce water. Cool slightly.
3. Over prepared pan, unroll dough. Pat to a 14”x9” rectangle. On each long side of the dough, use a sharp knife to cut 10 (approximately 1.5” wide) strips 3” deep (leaving about 3” of uncut dough down the center).
4. Down the center of the dough, spread ½ cup cheese, chicken mixture then remaining cheese.
5. Starting at one end, pull 1 strip of dough toward the center, repeat with strip of dough on the other side. Continue to alternate strips of dough to create a braid-like effect.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Cut into 8 slices. Serve with sour cream, salsa or guacamole if desired.
