Spread filling evenly over middle of dough. To braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip on turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid. Tuck ends under to seal at end of braid. Brush egg white over dough using pastry brush. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.

I used to be a Pampared Chef rep and loved using this recipe. However, my hubby hates the taste of dill. So to make a slight variation to the recipe, which I use to this day is using Tysons pre-cooked fajita chicken meat which is seasoned perfectly and using it and eleminating the dill. Everything else stays the same.

This is always a favorite with the kids. I also add about 1/4 cup chopped onion and celery just for some added flavor.

I love this recipe and I've been making it for years! It's a frequently requested recipe of my family. Thanks for putting it on Zaar! I didn't have to go through my Pampered Chef cookbooks to find it!
