they look delicious, I will make these!!! I love pinwheel sandwiches.!!
Hope you love them Judy! Let me know how it goes, they are pretty tasty!
This recipe came out fantastic! Wanted some new lunch ideas that wasn’t just ham and cheese sandwiches. I used 2 baked chicken breast, ranch seasoning powder, and followed the recipe exactly. Used spinach herb wraps and they were full of flavor. The cream cheese was rich but balanced with the chicken. 100% going in the lunch rotation
Really delicious! Made this for dinner for three people and turned our great with some leftover (yay lunch!) Really easy to make and will definitely be making on repeat through the warm weather! If you are sensitive to garlic or onion, Smoke N Sanity Supper Club Ranch seasoning worked great with this.
