Ingredients

2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can crescent roll dough
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and green onions (if using). Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Lay each triangle flat on the baking sheet.
Fill and Roll: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll it up tightly from the wide end to the pointed end, creating a pinwheel shape.
Bake: Place the pinwheels on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Serve: Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, and you can even serve them with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
