Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package refrigerated crescent dough
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
- Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to create one large sheet if needed.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
- Place the pinwheels cut-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each for even baking.
- Brush the tops of the pinwheels with egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed.
- Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Don’t overfill the dough to avoid tearing. Chill the dough if it becomes too soft while working. Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
