Chicken Bread Braid

I can't remember where I found this, so I feel bad for not posting the source because I know it was online somewhere. Anyway, I made it the other night and my family loved it. It looked pretty and it wasn't super hard so we will definitely be adding it to the rotation.

Chicken Bread Braid
1 Rhodes White Bread Loaf - Thawed
1/2 cup Parmesean Cheese
1/2 - 1 Tbsp. Suddenly Salad

Filling...
4oz. Cream Cheese
3 Tbsp. Melted Butter
1 Tbsp. Milk
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
3 Cooked, cubed or shredded chicken breast

Mix together melted butter, softened cream cheese, chicken, salt and pepper. (I also threw in some season salt because we didn't have any suddenly salad.) Roll out 1 loaf of Rhodes bread. Put mixture in the middle of the bread, leaving about 3 inches empty on each side of mixture. Then take a pizza cutter and cut every 1-2 inches all the way down on each side. Then braid or place the extra dough over each other on top of the chicken mixture. Before baking, dust with butter and sprinkle Parmesan and Suddenly Salad on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Creamy Topping
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup Milk
1 Tbsp.. Lemon Juice

Warm above ingredients in microwave and spoon over individual pieces when done baking.
