French bread Surprise (with chicken and Vegetables)

We'll call this French Bread Surprise because we often make this French Bread without the dinner hidden inside, so this is a surprise for our little ones.

All measures are approximate because I'm mostly using leftovers and didn't measure!

1 12oz bag frozen broccoli and cauliflower florettes
1 tube Pillsbury French bread
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/3 (?) cup mayonaise (we used an egg/dairy free variety)
1 Tbsp + mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Defrost broccoli/cauliflower in the microwave and dice. Mix with diced cooked chicken, mayo, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Take the French bread out of the tube and try to unroll it. Lay it on an oiled baking sheet. Place the chicken/veggie mixture down the center and bring the sides of the dough up and over it, sealing on the top (pinching with your fingers). Bake in 350 oven 15-20 minutes, until dough is golden brown and mixture is heated through. This is egg free if you use safe mayo.

ETA: We tried this using some frozen onion/green pepper in addition to the other vegetables, and it was even better. (and I'm sorry Judy, I only saw your comment today, in January 2010!! LOL Feel free to use any recipes here)
