Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup basil pesto
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape.
Spread the basil pesto evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese over the pesto layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry into a log shape. Slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
