Faking the braid

I know the chicken braid has intrigued some of you. The chicken braid is delicious and others must make it. However, the chicken braid is not the most, how shall I say this? healthful recipe out there. And the primary culprit of that lack of healthfulness is the stupid crescent roll. Do not read the side of a tube of crescent rolls. You will faint. Especially when you realize that you basically just ate a whole tube of them on your own whilst consuming the chicken braid. So, I brainstormed (briefly, as you'll see) on how to slightly improve the braid. My thought was to make the chicken braid filling (which isn't the lightest thing on the planet, but get over it) and simply smear it on some crusty bread and throw that under the broiler. And guess what, it seemed to work out. No, it didn't taste AS delicious as if it were encased in delicious fatty crescent roll, but it worked just fine, and the plus side was not having to mess with flouring the entire kitchen to roll out crescent rolls and braiding them blah blah blah.
