Chicken Ham Pinwheels Recipes

CHICKEN-PROSCIUTTO PINWHEELS IN WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness; layer with prosciutto and mozzarella. Roll up chicken from a short side; secure with toothpicks., Place eggs and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in eggs, then roll in crumbs to coat. Cut each chicken breast crosswise into 3 slices; place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, cut side down. Refrigerate, covered, overnight., Preheat oven to 350°. Remove chicken from refrigerator; uncover and let stand while oven heats. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook and stir until tender, 1-2 minutes. Add wine. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1-1/2 cups. Pour over chicken., Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 165°, 30-35 minutes. Discard toothpicks before serving.

CHICKEN HAM PINWHEELS

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken breasts skinned side down on cutting board; pound to 1/4 inch thickness.
• 2. In a small custard cup, combine basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle on chicken. Place 3 slices of ham on each chicken breast to cover; roll up carefully lengthwise with ham inside (as snuggly as you can).
• 3. Spray 9 X 13 inch pan with cooking spray and gently place chicken rolls in pan. Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with a light sprinkly of garlic powder and paprika. I use a little more lemon juice than the recipe calls for so there is a little more that gets under the chicken roll.
• 4. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is tender and lightly golden brown. Cool. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight. Cut into 1/4 inch slices. Makes about 24 slices.
• 5. Usually I double this recipe as it goes quickly and I make it the day before I'm going to serve it so the flavors blend together well.

HAM PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream and dry ranch dip mix.
• Beat until no lumps remain.
• Put a very thin layer of the cheese mixture on a tortilla, being sure not to go all the way to the edge.
• Place slices of ham on top (I always put one piece in the middle and then cut other pieces to fit around the edges), again being careful not to go all the way to the edge.
• Start tightly rolling the tortilla. Try to keep everything inside so the cheese mixture and ham don't come out.
• Roll up tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge or freezer.
• Repeat steps 3 through 7 until you run out of ingredients.
• When you're ready to serve, cut the long rolls into small, round pinwheels. I was able to get 8 good pinwheels per long roll (the endpieces are fine to nibble on but they don't make a pretty presentation). If you freeze the rolls for a little while rather than refrigerate them, it makes cutting easier and presentation nicer. I didn't freeze the ones in my picture, so they were messy and misshapen but still very yummy! ENJOY!

CHICKEN AND HAM PINWHEELS

Stirring constantly over medium heat, cook until no liquid remains. Remove from heat. Stir in egg set aside.Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch jelly roll pan.Cover pastry leaves with a damp towel to prevent drying out. Place 2 leaves on a second damp towel brush with melted butter. Place another leaf on top brush with butter. Repeat until 6 leaves have been stacked. Top with half of the chicken-ham mixture, spreading to within 1 inch of all edges. Fold long edges over filling. Carefully roll as for a jelly roll, starting from short side. Place, seam-side down, on jelly roll pan. Repeat to make a second roll. Brush rolls with remaining butter. With a sharp knife, score each roll to mark eight slices.Bake for 40 minutes or until rolls are browned and crisp.Slice rolls where scored. Pour Mushroom Cheese Sauce into a large, shallow serving dish and arrange rolls on top.Note: Pinwheels can be reheated in a preheated 300° oven. Sauce can be reheated on low if needed.
