Chicken Bistro Twist

This was inspired by Kate Robertson, who taught me during my single moments the art of stuffing breads :-D

No, really, If I recall correctly, we were going to use this on a get together for the "fancy chef," the Pampered chef series...cannot remember the name, but I think I it was it.

As I slowly learned, this became one of my most favorited snack foods for parties.  I continue to make it and add more or less of anything.

Here are the basic ingredients:
1 cup cooked chicken - cut in small squares
1/2 cup of diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup of snipped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 packets of refrigerated French Bread dough
1 egg white lightly beaten
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning mix
oregano to taste

1. Cook chicken well, then dice in small squares
2. cup veggies in small diced pieces
3. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients, chicken, cheeses, and fresh ingredients, include the mayo

4. in a small bowl, keep the egg white

Open the Dough and cut across the middle as if slowly opening it.  Then using a roller roll it out some.  Not too much so it is not too thin.

Stuff the mixing, using luke warm water to seal the edges pressed together.

Once you have stuffed one, stuff the other one. Then try to "braid or twist both together" it is a bit of a challenge, you don't have to of course.

Meanwhile oven should be warming at 350degrees.  You will cook for about 20 mins.

Before putting into the oven, using a small brush, brush some of the egg white and use some oregano to crumble over it.

Good luck! I normally add more pepper, some onions, and extra oregano.  It is very tasty and depending on what you like, you can increase or decrease on the flavor.
