Description
High-protein chicken salad pinwheels made with shredded chicken, grapes, almonds, and a sweet-savory mix, rolled in flour tortillas and sliced for easy appetizers.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and finely shredded
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup thinly sliced red seedless grapes
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken and mayonnaise, mixing well.
- Add the thinly sliced green onions, dried minced onion, garlic salt, light brown sugar, thinly sliced red grapes, and sliced almonds to the chicken mixture. Stir everything until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Lay one burrito-sized tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread a quarter of the chicken salad mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Roll the tortilla up tightly into a log. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken salad and tortillas.
- Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap, folding the ends securely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the pinwheels to firm up and flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the logs and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds. Arrange and enjoy!
Notes
- Chicken can be cooked using your preferred method (grilled, baked, or boiled) before shredding.
- For best results, chill overnight to enhance flavors.
- These pinwheels are perfect for parties or meal prep.
