Ingredients

  • 2 pkgs store-bought crescent roll dough
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¾ cup ranch dressing
  • ¾ cup Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce
  • ¾ cup colby jack cheese shredded, DIVIDED
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup chicken cooked and shredded

Instructions

  • Add all shredded cheese to a medium bowl and toss together. Set ½ cup of cheese aside in a small bowl to top pinwheels just before baking.
  • In another large bowl, beat cream cheese, ranch dressing and buffalo sauce until smooth. Fold in the shredded cheese mixture and shredded cooked chicken until fully combined.
  • Unfold sheet of crescent dough on a lightly floured surface, pinching the seams together if needed. Add buffalo chicken mixture and spread out into an even layer, being sure to get right up to the edges on all sides. Gently roll the puff pastry up into a log.
  • Optional: cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hours. Chilling before slicing will make it much easier and cleaner cuts.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease well with non-stick cooking spray.
  • With a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the roll into eight equal pieces. Repeat this process with the second sheet of dough and remaining buffalo chicken mixture.
  • Place the rolls on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the tops of pinwheels with remaining ½ cup of cheese. Bake for 14 minutes or until dough is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Allow to cool for 2 minutes on the hot pan then serve warm.

Notes

Storage instructions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, I recommend an oven, toaster oven or air fryer. Microwaving is an option but the pinwheels will be slightly soggy reheating using this method.
