Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken shredded, leftover rotisserie chicken works well
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese can substitute with hummus for a lighter option
  • 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative
  • 1 tsp Paprika add to taste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder add to taste
For the Outer Layer
  • 4 large Tortilla Wraps can use soft, flour tortillas
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry thawed
  • 1 roll Crescent Dough for a buttery option

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • knife
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by shredding your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and place it in a mixing bowl. Add cream cheese, ranch dressing, and seasonings like paprika and garlic powder. Use a spatula to blend everything until smooth and creamy.
  2. Take a tortilla wrap and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of your chicken filling evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
  3. Beginning at one edge, carefully roll the tortilla away from you, keeping it tight. Once fully rolled, give the ends a gentle squeeze to seal.
  4. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch thick.
  5. If you prefer a warm texture, preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Once they’re ready, remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them cool before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.
