Hi Nancy,
I am fixing a new dish tonight. It smells heavenly as the
meat, onion and peppers saut? I found it in a little
cookbooklet I bought at a thrift store. I made notations of
my changes,
Chicken Fajita Crescent Braid
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury? Crescent rolls
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into
1x1/2x1/2-inch strips
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt - I omitted
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup green or red bell pepper strips (2x1x1/4 inch)
1/4 cup Old El Paso? Thick 'n Chunky salsa - I used Chi
Chi's, of course!
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend (8 oz) -
used Mexican blend
1 egg white, beaten - did not use
Heat oven to 375?F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking
spray. Unroll dough onto cookie sheet; press to 8x12 inches.
In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add
chicken; stir in chili powder, salt and garlic; cook 3 to 5
minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add
onion and bell pepper strips; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or
until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are
crisp-tender. Spoon chicken mixture in 4-inch strip
lengthwise down center of dough. Top with salsa; sprinkle
with cheese. With scissors or sharp knife, make cuts 1 inch
apart on long sides of dough within 1/2 inch of filling.
Alternately cross strips over filling; press edges to seal.
Brush with egg white. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until deep
golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices.
