Best Cheesy Bbq Chicken Pizza Pinwheels Recipes

BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Or use parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Lightly flour a large wooden cutting board. Roll out dough onto the floured surface, pressing seams together as you go if necessary.
• Spread barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, to the edges. Top with shredded cheese, chicken, onions and cilantro.
• Roll dough slowly, keeping the filling in place as much as possible, and seal the edges. *Roll width-wise (the longest side) for smaller pinwheels, and length-wise (the shortest side) for larger pinwheels. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces.
• Place pinwheels on the prepared cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for about 9-11 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
• Allow to cool for a couple of minutes then serve with barbecue ranch dipping sauce (1 part bottled barbecue sauce, 1 part bottled ranch dressing).

CHEESY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA ROLLS

Steps:

• If frozen, follow instructions for thawing your pizza dough. If using refrigerated dough, place in a well oiled bowl, cover and allow to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
• Lightly oil a large 9 or 10-inch round skillet or baking pan. Cast iron skillets work well for pizza. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the room temperature pizza dough to an 18x10-inch rectangle. If the dough springs back and won't hold it's shape, let it rest an additional 5 minutes, then roll again. Spread the BBQ sauce over the surface of the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border all around the edges.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface of the dough, then top with the chicken, onion, red pepper flakes and bacon, if using.
• Starting on the long side, roll the dough away from you into a tight cylinder, tucking and pulling just a bit as you go. Pinch the seams together to seal. Cut into 8 equal slices and place cut side down in the prepared pan. When cutting try using dental floss instead of a knife. It works amazingly well!
• Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 400°F oven. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with additional BBQ sauce for dipping.
