Delicious, buttery, melt in your mouth puff pastry pinwheels stuffed with butter chicken sauce, chicken and cheese. They are perfect for your parties, brunches and special event. I usually server these Butter Chicken Pinwheels as is or without any sauce, as they are so creamy that they donot need any dip with it.
Which for me is perfect as I dont have to worry about a dip or sauce. Also less utensil – Wohooo!Always & I mean Always Freeze the Puff Pastry dish before baking or cutting as that helps retain the shape.The puff pastry remains intact and the puffs come out crispier when you freeze for few minutes before baking.
