That recipe is for a 4-Ingredient Chicken Cordon Bleu Crescent Braid — a quick baked lunch/dinner using crescent dough, chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 can (8 oz / 225 g) refrigerated crescent dough sheet (or seamless crescent roll dough)
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 4–6 slices deli ham
- 4–6 slices Swiss cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and lightly grease it.
- Roll out the crescent dough into one rectangle. If it has perforations, pinch the seams together.
- Cut diagonal strips (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm wide) down both long sides, leaving the middle uncut for the filling.
- Add chicken down the center. Layer ham, then Swiss cheese on top.
- Fold the top and bottom ends slightly inward. Cross the dough strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
Easy Add-Ons (Optional)
- Garlic powder
- Black pepper
- Italian seasoning
- Dijon mustard inside for extra flavor
It pairs well with salad, roasted potatoes, or tomato soup. If you want, I can also give you a simpler version in French for easy cooking instructions.
