Confused about the 1 chicken breast listed in this. The chicken breast would have to be huge to even fit inside of the measurements laid out. (12*17) I would figure you would shred the chicken and spread with the vegetables to make it stretch. But I couldn't imagine feeding my family of 6 with 1 chicken breast. It would make a lot of dough though. Maybe this would be better if you shredded the chicken and mixed with vegetables, then laid it down the middle and "mock" braided it. I would also increase the chicken to 2 pieces if done this way at the very least.
