- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients until well incorporated.
3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, ensuring it’s large enough to accommodate the filling.

6. Slice the log into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
7. Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
8. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg, creating a shiny, golden crust.
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
