Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Unroll the crescent dough into a rectangle. If using perforated dough, firmly pinch the seams together.

  3. 3

    Cut 1-inch-wide strips along both long sides of the dough, leaving a 4-inch strip down the center uncut.

  4. 4

    Spread Dijon mustard over the center strip if using.

  5. 5

    Layer the chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese evenly down the center of the dough.

  6. 6

    Fold the dough strips alternately over the filling, crossing slightly to form a braid. Tuck the ends underneath to seal.

  7. 7

    Brush with beaten egg or melted butter and sprinkle with parsley and poppy or sesame seeds if desired.

  8. 8

    Bake for 25–30 minutes until deeply golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  9. 9

    Allow to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
