Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 package puff pastry can substitute with crescent roll dough
For the Filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded; store-bought rotisserie chicken works well
  • 8 oz cream cheese can substitute with Neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar/Mozzarella) feel free to use your favorite cheese
  • 1 teaspoon herbs/seasonings such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rolling out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Chill it if too soft.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Add herbs and seasonings, mixing until creamy.
  3. Spread the filling evenly over the puff pastry, roll tightly from one end to form a log, and slice into 1-inch pinwheels.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Let the pinwheels cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm as finger food or appetizers.
