Crescent Chicken Roll Ups

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup sharp cheese (I used cheddar)
1 garlic clove, pressed (I chopped mine)
Red and/or green bell peppers, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 packages crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons slivered almonds, optional

Preheat oven to 375*. Combine chicken, broccoli, bell pepper, and cheese. Press garlic over mixture. Add mayonnaise, dill weed and salt and fold together until all ingredients are coated. Open your crescent rolls but when you unroll them, keep 2 rolls together so instead of 8 sections, you will have 4 bigger ones per can. Put a good sized spoonful in center of dough and roll up. Place seam side down on greased baking sheet. Brush the egg white over the top of roll ups and sprinkle with slivered almonds, if desired. Bake according to roll directions until golden brown.

* I'm not going to lie, I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe but I am so glad that I did! They were delicious and very filling. Even my husband really enjoyed them. They are not so great reheated as leftovers the next day since they become a bit soggy. I especially loved how simple and very fast they were to prepare. I am going to keep experimenting with the filling (not that it needs it) by possibly adding some green onions or even chopped celery to add a bit more flavor and/or crunch. I had leftover filling that I refrigerated and used as a cold filling for a sandwich like a chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious!

* I made these again last night and added finely chopped celery and green onions. I didn't notice a huge difference in the taste but I loved the extra crunch!
