Equipment

1 Baking Sheet

Ingredients

1 Cup Chicken breast cooked and shredded
1/4 cup celery diced
3/4 cup cream cheese softened
1/4 cup White Cheddar Cheese shredded
1/8 cup Blond Beard's IPA Hot Sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the puff pastry sheet. Use a fork to stir until well combined.
Roll out one sheet of the puff pastry on a baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Using a spreader knife, spread the mixture to about 1/2 inch of the edges of the puff pastry sheet.
Start rolling the pastry into a tight roll. Shift your hands across the puff pastry as your roll to keep the roll even. Cut off the end tips of the roll, then slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Lay the pinwheels flat, sprinkle with salt and arrange them on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with Blue Cheese Dressing or Buttermilk Ranch Dressing as a dipping sauce.

Notes

Tips for Success

Let the cream creese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. The softer it is, the easier it will be to mix and roll.
While the cream cheese is sitting at room temperature, I like to take one small chicken breast and place it in a shallow small baking dish that been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, and roast in the oven at 375 degrees until cooked. It only takes about 15 - 20 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool then shred using two forks.
Use a serrated bread knife to cut the dough into slices. It will work much better than any other type of knife.
Before laying the pinwheels flat for baking, brush the top with an egg wash. This will help them reach a golden brown stage. Crack an egg in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Using a fork, beat until well combined. Use a silicone brush to lightly spread the egg wash over the top of the pastry. Don't over-do, or the egg wash will be too heavy and you'll have scrambled eggs on top of the pinwheels.

Serve warm pinwheels with Blue Cheese Dressing or Ranch Dressing for dipping.
