BBQ Chicken Pinwheels
Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent rolls (or crescent dough sheet)
- 3 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoons parsley flakeshttps://www.motherthyme.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=14336&action=edit#
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line with a large baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
- Roll out crescent dough on wax paper to form a rectangle. If not using crescent dough sheet, press the seams together.
- In a large bowl mix together chicken, cheese, BBQ sauce and onion. Spread evenly on top of the crescent dough, leaving about 1/2 inch border.
- Carefully roll up lengthwise. Gently press in end to the side of dough to prevent opening.
- Mix butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush some of the butter over top.
- Using a sharp knife carefully cut into 9-12 equal size slices (1 inch – 1 1/2 inch thick). Place slices cut side down on baking sheet. Brush tops with any remaining butter.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
I use Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce for this recipe.
