Description

Flaky puff pastry filled with chicken, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta—perfect for parties, snacks, or game day gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1.1 lb pack of puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)

  • 12 oz chicken breast

  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

  • Salt and fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)

  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, minced

  • ⅓ cup pesto (for mixing with filling)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • ¼ cup additional pesto (for spreading on pastry)

  • 1 egg white (for sealing and brushing)


Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry sheets on parchment paper.

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook in vegetable oil until done. Cool, dice, and place in mixing bowl.

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Mix diced chicken with feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, and ⅓ cup pesto until combined.

  • Spread 2 Tbsp pesto over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border uncovered.

  • Evenly spread chicken mixture over the pastry, avoiding the uncovered edge.

  • Roll pastry toward the uncovered edge, brush with egg white, and seal. Place seam-side down.

  • Slice into 1-inch pinwheels, arrange 2 inches apart on the sheet, and brush tops with egg white.

  • Bake for 15–17 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Chill the rolled pastry for 15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.

  • Use a serrated knife to avoid squishing the rolls.

  • These pinwheels taste great warm or at room temperature.
