Ingredients

• 1 cup Shredded cooked chicken
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 pieces Fresh jalapeños, finely diced
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tube (8 ounces) Crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean work surface and press together any perforations to form one large rectangle.

Step 4

Spread the chicken and jalapeño mixture evenly over the crescent dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Starting with one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 even pinwheels and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the pinwheels with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
