Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, shredded carrot, finely chopped broccoli, red pepper, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dill weed, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3
Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and place it into a greased 15-inch x 10-inch x 1-inch baking pan. Gently press the seams and perforations together to form a rectangular shape about 15 inches x 12 inches, allowing the dough to hang over the edges of the pan.
4
Spoon the filling mixture evenly along the center of the dough lengthwise.
5
On each long side of the dough, make cuts about 1 1/2 inches wide, extending 3 1/2 inches into the center of the dough, creating strips.
6
Starting at one end, carefully alternate twisting each strip twice and laying it at an angle across the filling to form a braided effect. Continue this until you reach the other end of the filling.
7
Seal the ends of the strudel by folding them under the dough.
8
Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg white to create a beautiful golden finish, then sprinkle slivered almonds over the top.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the strudel is golden brown and puffed up.
10
Once baked, remove from oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into 12 generous servings. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!
