Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Mixing Bowl
- sharp knife
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the perforations to seal, creating a large rectangle. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting from the short side, tightly roll up the dough, jelly-roll style. Cut the roll into 8 equal slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown.
- To guarantee the best results, let the chicken mixture cool slightly before spreading it onto the crescent roll dough. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too wet and difficult to roll. Additionally, be sure to use a sharp knife to cleanly slice the rolled dough, as this will help maintain the pinwheel shape during baking.
