Cheesy BBQ Chicken Bacon Pinwheels make an amazing dinner OR appetizer any night of the week!
This past week has been crazy.
We’ve had Easter parties, egg hunts, food drives, swim practice every night and I’ve been packing all week for our vacation this coming week. Bryce has got hurt pretty much every day. Like serious scrapes and I’m getting kind of nervous because it’s a rare trip to Disneyland that doesn’t land us in Urgent Care or the ER.
He’s got the scars to prove it too.
Meals have been easy this week. Quick, pull ’em together type meals that cause me less stress and keeps the family happy.
After the rave reviews my family gave the Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza Pinwheels and the Chicken Cordon Bleu Crescent Rolls, I had a good idea for a new dinner option and this may just be our most favorite yet.
Because time is just not on my side as of late, I picked up a rotisserie chicken to make this even easier. Shredded rotisserie chicken, your favorite bbq sauce, crunchy baked bacon (I used Hormel Thick-Cut – the bomb!), some shredded cheese, sliced green onions, and Pillsbury Crescents (I used the reduced fat.)
Magical people. Seriously magical.
Whether you make up this pinwheels for dinner or are serving them as appetizers to your favorite people – you are going to hear the oohs and aahs fo’ sho.

Trish, could I start having dinner at your place?? These look fabulous! I love BBQ chicken but rarely get to eat it (my guy doesn’t; it’s too sweet for him), so I’d sneak seconds and thirds of your pinwheels. Yum! And I hope you have a completely safe and totally fun trip. You’re headed to the Happiest Place on Earth, after all, so I’m sure everyone will be all smiles for the entire week!
