Stuffed herb bread with mozzarella, onion, roasted peppers and chicken strips

Hello and Merry Christmas to all, today I made my take on a recipe posted by  dstroy. I wanted to try a savory braid in the vain of the cream cheese and blueberry braid. On Floyed advice I decided to go with a lean dough for the bread. So I improvised on  dstroy"s Stromboli recipe. I used a mixed Italian dried herb, fresh garlic and a table spoon of olive oil in the dough. For the filling I grilled some chicken strips in olive oil sauteed some onion and garlic in the same pan. I added mozzarella cheese and red peppers. The first one in my haste I forgot the second layer of cheese and the peppers. They taste great and spicy oh I also put red pepper flakes in the dough. This is for sure a keeper for me. I plan on freezing some for my wife to take to work for lunch.

Hi, Thank you

Yes these are yummy. here is the link for the dough I used. you can use a mix of any herbs you like. I used a mixed Italian. http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/strombolini

Here is the link to the cream cheese and blueberry braid Floyd explains exactly how to roll out the dough and form the braid with photos. If you have not tried the cream cheese braid you should they are a great desert bread that is easy to make.

For the filling I lightly breaded & fried some chicken strips I cut from boneless breasts. I used very little oil and just browned the chicken. I sauted two onions in the same pan till just translucent. Then i put down a layer of mozzarella cheese then the onion then the chicken then the rosted red pepers then another layer of cheese

 Good luck enjoy
