BBQ Chicken Braid

1 recipe French Bread Rolls (Sometimes when I make bread I use part of that dough, or you can use frozen dough that you get at the store, all work great.

2 cups shredded, cooked chicken (I have used bottled or canned chicken works just the same, just drain off the juice.

1 red onion

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

After the French bread roll recipe has gone through the first rise, split the dough into two parts. Lightly cover one portion and set aside. Roll the other portion into about an 11x12 in rectangle.

Using a pizza cutter, knife or scissors, cut 1-inch strip in toward the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread half of the barbecue sauce down the center strip. Top with the chicken, onions and cheese. Finish with more barbecue sauce if you want. (I did). Fold the side strips over filling, alternating strips from each side and pressing them into the dough on the opposite side, forming a braid. Pinch or twist to seal.

Place the braid on a baking sheet and let rest for 15 min. While it is resting, following the same steps above for the second portion of dough. (If you want more). Bake the braid for 15-20 min. until golden brown and bread is baked through. Remove from oven and bake the second braid if you made one.

Let the braid rest for 5 min. Using a serrated knife, cut braid into sections and serve warm.

Note-----You can use the same method only use shredded beef or pork or both. Useing Green chili sauce, or red chili sauce instead of BBQ Sauce. I add Green chili and Jalapenos along with the onions. Good)
