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

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and lightly grease it.
  2. Roll out the crescent dough into one rectangle. If it has perforations, pinch the seams together.
  3. Cut diagonal strips (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm wide) down both long sides, leaving the middle uncut for the filling.
  4. Add chicken down the center. Layer ham, then Swiss cheese on top.
  5. Fold the top and bottom ends slightly inward. Cross the dough strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.

Easy Add-Ons (Optional)

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.
